[edit] Snipping what seems to be original research

I'm removing this, because the style of presentation and the absence of source citations suggests that it is original research. If I'm wrong about this, my apologies, but please provide source citations showing that the material has been previously published, per the verifiability policy.

Wikipedia is not an outlet for the publication of original research; see WP:OR.

If this explanation of the Cornsweet effect is in fact well-known and published, then it can (and should) be included in the article. Dpbsmith (talk) 16:09, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

An Empirical Explanation: Craik-O'Brien-Cornsweet Effect

Italic textThe common denominator of the Cornsweet stimulus and the simultaneous brightness contrast stimulus is simply what the equiluminant 'targets' in the two luminance profiles have typically turned out to be.

According to this wholly empirical way of understanding the relationship between luminance and brightness, whenever a given stimulus is consistent with the experience of equiluminant targets signifying differently reflective objects, the brightness of the returns should appear different. If this idea is correct, then the same perceptual effect elicited by the stimulus profile in DEMONSTRATIONS #02-05 should be generated by any stimulus in which regions would have typically would have turned out to be differently reflective objects in different amounts of light. We therefore sought to test this prediction by examining other sorts of brightness 'illusions'.
