Research conducted at Georgia State university has found that monkeys and humans perceive -- and misperceive -- visual illusions in the same way. Reflecting resemblances in the species' perceptual systems and their interpretation of their physical worlds, the research was carried out using capuchin and rhesus monkeys, with the Delbouef illusion used as the visual aspect of the testing.
Collaborators for this project include Michael Beran, associate professor in Georgia State's Department of Psychology and associate director of the Language Research Center, and Sarah Brosnan, associate professor in Georgia State's Department of Psychology, Department of Philosophy, Neuroscience Institute and Language Research Center.
