This study investigated the neural me- chanisms underlying this difference from the VBM and resting state of the brain. The results showed that there is a significant negative correlation between Muller-Lyer effect and the gray matter volume of the inferior occipital lobe and superior parietal lobe; the functional connectivity of inferior occipital lobe and superior parietal lobe has a significantly positive correlation with Muller-Lyer effect; the longer the distance between the figures and the center of the field is, the stronger the illusion is. These results suggested that the individual differences of Muller-Lyer illu- sion may be related to the structure and function of the cortex which is related to the level of the resolution of visual spatial attention and visual representation.
