Cornsweet Illusion

The Cornsweet Illusion is a visual perceptual phenomenon in which two adjacent regions of identical luminance appear to differ in brightness due to a gradient transition at their boundary, with the region adjacent to the lighter side of the gradient appearing brighter than the region adjacent to the darker side.
