The Remarkable “Curvature Blindness” Illusion

You know what this reminds me of? That simple graphical trick to give buttons depth. Two sides have a dark border, two sides have a light border. This seems to be a similar effect.

"However, further experiments revealed that depth perception is not the driving force behind the effect."

I read the paper, but wasn’t immediately convinced it wasn’t related to depth. Once I looked at the illustration for the 3rd experiment [0] it was obviously unrelated to depth.

I dunno, it seems pretty straightforward to me unless I'm missing something. Color change at the sharpest point of the curve has an antialiasing effect that pronounces the shift and makes it look zigzag.
