Examples of visual aftereffects. (a) The Lilac Chaser illusion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilac_chaser). With fixation on the cross, the lilac dots fade revealing a strong greenish afterimage when each dot is briefly removed. (b) Adaptation effects analogous to color are found for faces. When fixating the central face, the distortions in the peripheral faces become less apparent, leading to a strong perceived distortion when each face is briefly replaced with the undistorted center face.
