I think the title should be the paper's title, What Geometric Visual Hallucinations Tell Us about the Visual Cortex. I don't see anything about illusions.
That's correct, I accidentally copied my initial (and wrong) Google query into the title. I can't change the title now, however, even though it's only 40 minutes ago that I submitted it. I think the admins locked the title after they've changed the year/pdf tag.
Given the subject matter, I was surprised that the first three authors were in mathematics departments; then I found out why. This is some serious brain hacking here.
It is fascinating and worth appreciating that neuroscientists can derive structure in the brain from complex phenomena such as visual hallucinations.
