Do inferential models of vision provide us with models of visual experience? I argue they do not. Five new visual illusions suggest that real-world visual experience is much simpler than we previously thought. These new illusions suggest that real-world visual experience is not an inferential process. Instead, the visual processes modelled by inferential models of vision reflect purely cognitive inferences about our visual experience and/or the world. These five illusions provide us with new ways to tease visual experience and purely cognitive inferences apart.
