   Grating induction illusion using a blurred square-wave grating

   :param visual_size: visual size [height, width] of image, in degrees
   :type visual_size: Sequence[Number, Number], Number, or None (default)
   :param ppd: pixels per degree [vertical, horizontal]
   :type ppd: Sequence[Number, Number], Number, or None (default)
   :param shape: shape [height, width] of image, in pixels
   :type shape: Sequence[Number, Number], Number, or None (default)
   :param frequency: spatial frequency of grating, in cycles per degree visual angle
   :type frequency: Number, or None (default)
   :param n_bars: number of bars in the grating
   :type n_bars: int, or None (default)
   :param bar_width: width of a single bar, in degrees visual angle
   :type bar_width: Number, or None (default)
   :param period: ensure whether the grating has "even" number of phases, "odd"
                  number of phases, either or whether not to round the number of
                  phases ("ignore")
   :type period: "even", "odd", "either" or "ignore" (default)
   :param rotation: rotation (in degrees), counterclockwise, by default 0.0 (horizontal)
   :type rotation: float, optional
   :param phase_shift: phase shift of grating in degrees
   :type phase_shift: float
   :param intensity_bars: intensity value for each bar, by default (1.0, 0.0).
                          Can specify as many intensities as n_bars;
                          If fewer intensities are passed than n_bars, cycles through intensities
   :type intensity_bars: Sequence[float, ...]
   :param target_width: width of target stripe in degrees visual angle
   :type target_width: float
   :param target_blur: amount of Gaussian blur to blur square-wave grating (default: 0)
   :type target_blur: float
   :param intensity_target: intensity value for each target, by default 0.5.
                            Can specify as many intensities as number of target_indices;
                            If fewer intensities are passed than target_indices, cycles through intensities
   :type intensity_target: float, or Sequence[float, ...], optional
   :param origin: if "corner": set origin to upper left corner (default)
                  if "mean": set origin to hypothetical image center
                  if "center": set origin to real center (closest existing value to mean)
   :type origin: "corner", "mean" or "center"

   :returns: dict with the stimulus (key: "img"),
             mask with integer index for each target (key: "target_mask"),
             and additional keys containing stimulus parameters
   :rtype: dict[str, Any]
