Global contour shapes are coded differently from their local components
Previous research has shown that the mechanisms that process curved contours are selective for low-level attributes such as luminance contrast polarity and luminance spatial-frequency, while those that process curvature-defined global shapes are not. While these findings are consistent with the view that higher stages of object processing are relatively agnostic to low-level attributes, methodo...
متن کاملFrom local to global: Cortical dynamics of contour integration.
Processing of global contours requires integration of local visual information. To study the involvement of different cortical areas and the temporal characteristics of their activity in such integration, we recorded neuromagnetic responses to arrays of Gabor patches in which a proportion of the patches was oriented either tangentially or radially with respect to a global circular contour; arra...
متن کاملContour integration and aging: the effects of element spacing, orientation alignment and stimulus duration
The ability to extract contours in cluttered visual scenes, which is a crucial step in visual processing, declines with healthy aging, but the reasons for this decline are not well understood. In three experiments, we examined how the effect of aging on contour discrimination varies as a function of contour and distracter inter-element spacing, collinearity, and stimulus duration. Spiral-shaped...
متن کاملThe Shapes, Orientation, and Alignment of Galactic Dark Matter Subhalos
We present a study of the shapes, orientations, and alignments of Galactic dark matter subhalos in the “Via Lactea” simulation of a Milky Way-size ΛCDM host halo. Whereas isolated dark matter halos tend to be prolate, subhalos are predominantly triaxial. Overall subhalos are more spherical than the host halo, with minor to major and intermediate to major axis ratios of 0.68 and 0.83, respective...
متن کاملGlobal contour saliency and local colinear interactions.
Our visual system can link components of contours and segregate contours from complex backgrounds based on geometric grouping rules. This is an important intermediate step in object recognition. The substrate for contour integration may be based on contextual interactions and intrinsic horizontal connections seen in primary visual cortex (V1). We examined the perceptual rules governing contour ...
