Perceptual grouping determines haptic contextual modulation
Since the early phenomenological demonstrations of Gestalt principles, one of the major challenges of Gestalt psychology has been to quantify these principles. Here, we show that contextual modulation, i.e. the influence of context on target perception, can be used as a tool to quantify perceptual grouping in the haptic domain, similar to the visual domain. We investigated the influence of targ...

Countless visual aftereffects have illustrated how visual sensitivity and perception can be biased by adaptation to the recent temporal context. This contextual modulation has been proposed to serve a variety of functions, but the actual benefits of adaptation remain uncertain. We describe an approach we have recently developed for exploring these benefits by adapting images instead of observer...

متن کاملContextual Grouping of Labels
Learning materials frequently employ illustrations with many labels in order to coordinate visual and textual elements. The labels in illustrations support mainly two search tasks: learners can determine the graphical reference objects of unknown terms or vice versa (i.e. get textual descriptions for unknown visual objects). In traditional print media, human illustrators often overload an illus...
