The Nature of Illusory Contour Computation
Neural correlates of illusory contour perception have been found in both the early and the higher visual areas. But the locus and the mechanism for its computation remain elusive. Psychophysical evidence provided in this issue of Neuron shows that perceptual contour completion is likely done in the early visual cortex in a cascade manner using horizontal connections.
متن کاملA model of the illusory contour formation based on dendritic computation
We proposed a new model of illusory contour formation based on the properties of dendritic computation. The basic elements of the network are a single-excitatory cell with two dendritic branches and an inhibitory cell. Both dendritic branches behave as an independent linear unit with a threshold. They sum all excitatory input from the nearby collinear cells, and the inhibition from one collater...
متن کاملMultiple mechanisms of illusory contour perception.
A variety of mechanisms have been proposed to explain illusory contour formation. However, since prior studies have focused on a single mechanism, there is no clear consensus regarding contour formation mechanisms. Here we developed a novel vivid dynamic display we call the chomping pacman that allows measurement of minute differences in contour clarity. This illusion is shown to be more vivid ...
متن کاملMotion-Based Mechanisms of Illusory Contour Synthesis
Neurophysiological studies and computational models of illusory contour formation have focused on contour orientation as the underlying determinant of illusory contour shape in both static and moving displays. Here, we report a class of motion-induced illusory contours that demonstrate the existence of novel mechanisms of illusory contour synthesis. In a series of experiments, we show that the ...
متن کاملIllusory Contour-motion Arising from Translating Terminators
Periodic grating patterns were created by phase shifting or eliminating vertical columns of a fine line carrier grating oriented 45 deg. Motion was created by translating the patterns parallel to the carrier grating. This veridical motion was seen when terminators (i) were created in low-frequency carriers; (ii) terminated short lines; and (iii) moved slowly. In the complementary conditions an ...
