TL;DR: The well-known spiral after-effect can be generated by looking for some time at a rotating, apparently contracting spiral, and when the spiral is stopped it appears to expand outwards.
Abstract: THE well-known spiral after-effect can be generated by looking for some time at a rotating, apparently contracting spiral. When the spiral is stopped it appears to expand outwards. It appears that both rods and cones are able to mediate this effect: Wohlgemuth1 observed the effect in both the light-adapted and the dark-adapted eye, and also in the foveal and peripheral retina. The dark-adapted and peripheral effects, presumably mediated by the rods, are brisker but briefer than the light-adapted and foveal effects mediated by the cones.
