Tricking my eyes

I found the example of cube with just outlines, how we can see it as one way (sides as outside of the cube) and another (sides as inside of the cube) depending on how other object pass through it. Without those objects, I could still make myself to see it (wait, I’m still seeing it as same, but perceiving it differently? – it’s getting confusing!!) one way and another, alternating back and forth, but it took some effort and took awhile to change back and forth. However, with other objects passing through, transferring the thought was so much easier and more instant. And there was an example of checkerboard, from last week, where even though we know what’s the truth, we can’t change how we see it. So, now, I was wondering if the I-function for each of these examples were behaving differently.
