Chubb illusion
The Chubb illusion is an optical illusion wherein the apparent brightness (luminosity) of an object varies dramatically, depending on the context of the presentation.[1] For instance, a dark object surrounded by darker objects may appear brighter than an actually brighter object, surrounded by even brighter objects.[2] This was observed and documented by Chubb and colleagues in 1989.[3]
