  Caltech Press Release, 8/30/2001, Dr. Shunsuke Shimojo
Reporting in the August 31 issue of the journal Science, a joint team from the California Institute of Technology and NTT Communication Science Laboratories, led by Caltech professor Shinsuke Shimojo, demonstrates that adaptation to a specific visual pattern which induces perception of "color filling-in" later leads to a negative afterimage of the filled-in surface.
The Shimojo team employed a specific type of image (see image A below) in which a red semi-transparent square is perceived on top of the four white disks.
According to Shimojo, the brain is the ultimate organ for humans to adapt to the environment, so it would make more sense if the brain, as well as the retina, can modify their activity--and perception as a result--due to experience and adaptation.

 Caltech Press Release, 11/13/2003, Dr. Shinsuke Shimojo
Earlier work by other researchers has relied on the "attractiveness template," which assumes that an individual's ideal conception of beauty has somehow been imprinted on his or her brain due to early exposures to other people's faces, such as the mother.
In fact, Shimojo says, the new results come from experiments especially designed to minimize the influence of earlier biases and existing preferences.
In addition to Shimojo, the other authors are Claudiu Simion, a graduate student in biology at Caltech; Christian Scheier, a former postdoctoral researcher in Shimojo's lab; and Eiko Shimojo, of the School of Human Studies/Psychology at Bunkyo Gakuin University in Japan.

 Caltech Press Release, 12/13/2000, Dr. Shinsuke Shimojo
Though it seems to follow common sense that vision is the most dominant of the human senses, a new study by California Institute of Technology researchers shows that auditory signals can sometimes trick test subjects into misinterpreting what they have seen.
In a new study appearing in the Dec. 14 issue of the journal Nature, Caltech psychophysicists Ladan Shams, Yukiyasu Kamitani, and Shinsuke Shimojo report that auditory information can alter the perception of accompanying visual information, even when the visual input is otherwise unambiguous.
According to Shimojo, a professor of biology at Caltech, the effect works only if the beeps are very rapid.

Shimojo acknowledges the problem: “There are people who really like to play action games, games which give you instant feedback without having to think too much about anything.
But for all these efforts, Shimojo is realistic about the impossibility of pleasing all of the people all of the time: “I have worked on hundreds of different maps, and I think I understand which type of person likes which type of map.
I know there are people who like to start from a very weak position and gradually become strong and stronger and defeat the enemy.

 Journal of Vision - Color-spreading selective for shape and configuration, by Wu, Kanai, & Shimojo
Subjects fixating on a color gradient containing dark gaps perceived the central color to spread and replace the peripheral colors, ‘jumping’ over the gaps (Shimojo, Wu & Kanai, 2002, Perception 31, suppl).
Here, we show that the configuration of multi-colored patches present near the fixation point can spread into the periphery, as can multiple color-shape pairings.
