Abstract
The Hermann grid has been explained in terms of concentric receptive fields and also used to determine the size of centers and surrounds in perceptive fields in humans. A new figure, which is simply the outlines of the squares of the Hermann grid, shows that receptive fields having a range of excitatory and inhibitory sizes may be responsible for the Hermann illusion.Keywords
