[Display omitted] •Human polarized light perception extends beyond Haidinger’s phenomenon (HP).•The radial analyser model predicts the polarization-induced percepts.•Humans are sensitive to static and kinetic patterned polarization stimuli.•Unlike HP, static patterned polarization stimuli are easily...
