Multiple 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 کاملContour Tone Licensing and Contour Tone Representation
In this paper, I argue that the positional restrictions of contour tones do not result from their bimoraicity requirement for licensing. The arguments come from the licensing advantage of syllables in positions that are not moraically privileged, the extra levels of markedness distinction in contour tones that go beyond the maximum mora count allowed in the theory, the differences among contour...
متن کاملAbrupt learning and retinal size specificity in illusory-contour perception
BACKGROUND In behavioral studies of learning, a distinction is commonly made between gradual and abrupt improvements in performance. The learning of perceptual and motor skills is often characterized by gradual, incremental improvement, and is found not to generalize over stimulus manipulations such as changes in the size or location of the retinal image. In contrast, marked improvement in perf...
متن کاملAnisotropic contour completion
In this paper we introduce a novel application of the diffusion tensor for anisotropic image processing. The Anisotropic Contour Completion (ACC) we suggest consists in extending the characteristic function of the open curve by means of a degenerated diffusion tensor that prevents any diffusion in the normal direction. We show that ACC is equivalent to a dilation with a continuous elliptic stru...
متن کاملIllusory contour perception and amodal boundary completion: evidence of a dissociation following callosotomy.
A fundamental problem in form perception is how the visual system can link together spatially separated contour fragments to form the percept of a unitary shape. Illusory contours and amodal completion are two phenomena that demonstrate this linking process. In the present study we investigate these phenomena in the divided hemispheres of two callosotomy ("split-brain") patients. The data sugge...
