Even though this figure looks similar to the Hermann-Grid, it is markedly more vivid. Furthermore, the effect is probably caused by different mechanisms than those causing the Hermann-Grid effect.
1993: First demonstrated by JR Bergen at the ARVO, in a weaker variant
1994: Re-discovered by Bernd Lingelbach’s wife Elke
1995: Demonstrated at the Tübingen ECVP meeting (Schrauf M, Lingelbach B, Lingelbach E & Wist ER. The Hermann grid and the scintillation effect. Perception 24: suppl, 88–89)
1997: Schrauf M, Lingelbach B & Wist E. The scintillating grid illusion. Vision Res 37:1033–1038
2001: Invoked to explain Florida’s election problems (“Count the black dots, recount to confirm…” ;-)
