From “Seeing Through” to “Seeing With”: Assessment Criteria and the Myths of Transparency

Seeing depth coherence and transparency.

Gratings with different disparities are sometimes seen as transparent surfaces, each with a distinct depth, when they are superimposed, and sometimes they are seen as a coherent plaid confined to a single depth plane--stereo analogs of transparent and coherent motion. Briefly presented sinusoidal gratings of similar spatial frequencies are seen to cohere in depth. The resulting plaid generally ...

Mechanisms for seeing transparency-from-motion and orientation-from-motion.

Structure-from-motion (SFM) perception is hypothesised to be mediated by units that sense the near-far relationships in transparency-from-motion (TFM) and orientation-from-motion (OFM). The frequency of subjective reversals during observation of ambiguous SFM displays is considerably decreased when either the direction of rotation or the surface orientation is oscillated during the inspection. ...

Although the book covers all areas of scientific activity, the main focus is on biology. “The optimism and resources being devoted to biological research today promise to have a profound impact on everyday life as well as philosophical notions about life itself,” writes Wilson. “Whenver artists notice so much concentration of cultural energy and focus, they feel summoned to investigate and resp...
