Depending on the filling elements used, there is a wide variety of graphic implementations of the Oppel-Kundt illusion, which also differ in the magnitude of the visual distortion effects they cause. 133:) of the terminator is encoded by the magnitude of the cumulative neural response of some hypothetical area of weighted spatial summation (AWS, centered on the terminator), which size scales linearly towards the visual periphery. That is, a terminator with a more peripheral location affects overlapping 141:

According to the "spatial coding" model, the Oppel-Kundt illusion can be associated with misjudgments of the visual positions of stimuli terminators (items designating the ends of spatial intervals). It is assumed that the eccentricity (angular distance from the center of

Although various modifications of the Oppel-Kundt illusion have been studied experimentally quite well, there is still no generally accepted explanation for the occurrence of this visual phenomenon.
