Figure 4

An illusion of rotation of a symmetrical circular object may be induced by alternating presentation of two motionless circular objects with radial connectors turned with respect to each other. The two objects are perceived as one, rotating either clockwise or counterclockwise, with about equal probabilities. If the viewer imagines that the object is a steering wheel and then tries to rotate this imagined wheel with their hands, the direction of the illusory motion stabilizes to become congruent with the ongoing rotation of the imagined steering wheel.
