Visual field and task influence illusory figure responses.
In normal viewing conditions, many objects are often hidden or occluded by others, therefore restricting the information that enters the eye. One ability that the human visual system has developed to compensate for this visual limitation is to relate the surrounding elements to globally interpret the whole scene. The appearance of illusory figures (IF) based on surrounding elements also relies ...
متن کاملInconstancy and Inconsistency of Visual Illusory Phenomena? The Case of the Poggendorff Figure
Since its conception, the Poggendorff Figure has always been studied by considering the absolute role of the variables involved in determining the illusion (e.g. the angle or the distance between the inducer and the test stimuli). By contrast, we suggest that the role of such variables is relative to the specific conditions in which the illusory configuration is presented; in particular, we pro...
متن کاملIntracranial Recordings of Occipital Cortex Responses to Illusory Visual Events.
UNLABELLED Ambiguous visual stimuli elicit different perceptual interpretations over time, creating the illusion that a constant stimulus is changing. We investigate whether such spontaneous changes in visual perception involve occipital brain regions specialized for processing visual information, despite the absence of concomitant changes in stimulation. Spontaneous perceptual changes observed...
متن کاملPerceiving illusory contours: figure detection and shape discrimination.
We investigate the relationship between illusory figure detection and discrimination of its shape, asking whether these depend on a single, two separate, or two sequential processes. In a simultaneous detection-discrimination experiment, we presented subjects with brief, backward-masked Kanizsa-type patterns consisting of four "pacmen," arranged as if at the corners of a 60-degree parallelogram...
متن کاملIllusory surface perception and visual organization.
Illusory contours occur in a wide variety of circumstances in nature. A striking man- made example is the Kanizsa triangle. A common factor in all such figures is the perception of a surface occluding part of a background, i.e. illusory contours are always accompanied by illusory surfaces. The detection of occlusion cues suggest various different local surface configurations, leading to a large...
