Perceptual Organization of Local Elements into Global Shapes in the Human Visual Cortex
The question of how local image features on the retina are integrated into perceived global shapes is central to our understanding of human visual perception. Psychophysical investigations have suggested that the emergence of a coherent visual percept, or a "good-Gestalt", is mediated by the perceptual organization of local features based on their similarity. However, the neural mechanisms that...
متن کاملRereading the Role of Visual-Perceptual Elements of Historic Context Passages of Yazd to Organize Citizens’ Perceptual System
Paths located in ancient districts are flexible and lively places to understand man’s position in the environment and his/her connection with the past. Developing the sense of belonging to place in neighborhoods of the old texture of Yazd by people’s interaction with the paths can be effective in managing and reforming the affairs of neighborhoods, residential environment and organizing neighbo...
متن کاملDefining the Units of Competition: Influences of Perceptual Organization on Competitive Interactions in Human Visual Cortex
Multiple stimuli that are present simultaneously in the visual field compete for neural representation. At the same time, however, multiple stimuli in cluttered scenes also undergo perceptual organization according to certain rules originally defined by the Gestalt psychologists such as similarity or proximity, thereby segmenting scenes into candidate objects. How can these two seemingly orthog...
متن کاملAn fMRI study of human visual cortex in response to spatiotemporal properties of visual stimuli
ABSTRACT Background: The brain response to temporal frequencies (TF) has been already reported, but with no study reported for different TF with respect to various spatial frequencies (SF). Materials and Methods: fMRI was performed by 1.5T GE-system in 14 volunteers during checkerboard, with TFs of 4, 6, 8 and 10Hz in low and high SFs of 0.5 and 8cpd. Results: Average percentage BOLD signa...
متن کاملClusters Precede Shapes in Perceptual Organization
Does perceptual grouping require attention? Recent controversy on this question may be caused by a conflation of two aspects of grouping: element clustering (determining which elements belong together) and shape formation (determining cluster boundaries). In Experiment 1, observers enumerated diamonds that were drawn with either lines or dots. These two types of stimuli were subitized (enumerat...
