Ambiguous Image

Perception and Psychophysics Effects

Ambiguous images, also called reversible figures, are visual forms that create ambiguity by exploiting graphical similarities between two or more distinct image interpretations. They are well known for inducing multistable perception, in which a single image can be perceived in multiple, though individually stable, ways.
