Recent research by Radoslaw Wincza and Martin Doherty explored how susceptibility to optical illusions varies by profession. Their study involved radiologists, who demonstrated a lesser susceptibility to certain illusions, unlike psychology and medical students. The findings suggest that extensive training in rapidly evaluating visual information enables radiologists to identify sizes accurately, highlighting the possibility of training oneself to 'unsee' these illusions. The research challenges the notion that illusions affect everyone equally and points to an intriguing link between perception and professional training.
The research reveals that susceptibility to optical illusions varies based on profession and training; radiologists, in particular, are less affected by visual distortions.
The study found that radiologists were better at identifying sizes of circles in optical illusions because of their trained focus on critical details in medical images.
