Chubb Illusion
The Chubb illusion is an optical illusion or error in visual perception in which the apparent contrast of an object varies substantially to most viewers depending on its relative contrast to the field on which it is displayed. These visual illusions are of particular interest to researchers because they may provide valuable insights in regard to the workings of human visual systems. An object of low-contrast visual texture surrounded by a field of uniform visual texture appears to have higher contrast than when presented on a field of high-contrast texture. This illusion was observed by Charles Chubb and colleagues and published in 1989. An empirical explanation of the Chubb illusion was published by Lotto and Purves in 2001. Discovery Chubb and his colleagues researched this illusion by showing various combinations of foreground objects and background fields to human test subjects and asking them to rate the sharpness of the visual contrast in each foreground object. They found ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chubbtown, Georgia
Chubbtown is an unincorporated community in Floyd County, Georgia, United States. History Chubbtown was founded as a colony of free African-Americans in 1864 by Henry Chubb.

Chubbtown was originally composed of a general store, blacksmith shop, grist mill, distillery, syrup mill, saw mill, wagon company, cotton gin, casket (coffin) company and several farms, all owned and operated by the Chubb family. Later, the community also serviced its own post office. Recorded history of the Chubb family in North America dates back to 1775.
