Fechner's paradox

Subjective impression of a decrease in the brightness of a field when viewing it binocularly, after one eye that was closed looks through a dark filter (about 5% transmission). This is paradoxical since more light is received by the eyes when the field is viewed binocularly, as compared to monocularly.
