Abstract
With the classic Poggendorff illusion a set of parallel 'induction lines' will cause a set of oblique line segments to look misaligned even though they are collinear. A different kind of misalignment can be produced by placing the induction lines so that they form a corner. Under these conditions the obliques will appear to be angled slightly, one relative to the other. The effects are small, but can be seen and reliably reported by a group of naive subjects. The influence of the induction lines drops sharply as their relative position is moved from parallel to orthogonal, but there is a small residual influence which may be called the corner Poggendorff effect.Mesh:
