Discovery Lab

Three small shifts in seeing.

Explore how context, attention and framing can shape an experience. These are invitations to notice, not tests.

01 / PERCEPTION

The same light, a different surround

Change the ring around the two centres. Their fill colour is identical.

Why might they look different?

Surrounding contrast can influence perceived brightness. The centres here share the same colour value; perception depends partly on visual context.

02 / ATTENTION

A field of small signals

Choose one feature to bring forward, then reveal the full field.

A note on attention

Selective attention prioritises some information for processing. What is noticed can depend on the task and the scene; this small display does not measure attention.

03 / INTERPRETATION

A pause at the doorway

One moment, three possible frames. Notice what each frame invites you to infer.

Someone has come in from the rain and stopped at the threshold.

What is observed, and what is supplied by the frame?

What changes when you look again? You can carry the question with you, or simply leave it here.
