A theory of visual interpolation in object perception.

TL;DR: An integrated review of the neural mechanisms involved in contour grouping, border ownership, and figure-ground perception is concluded by evaluating what modern vision science has offered compared to traditional Gestalt psychology, whether the authors can speak of a Gestalt revival, and where the remaining limitations and challenges lie.

TL;DR: It is reasonable to suppose that the corpus callosum has enabled the development of the many specialized systems by allowing the reworking of existing cortical areas while preserving existing functions.

TL;DR: The model is a deep recurrent neural network trained with reinforcement learning to attend to the most relevant regions of the input image and it is shown that the model learns to both localize and recognize multiple objects despite being given only class labels during training.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses three questions and suggests that list making has misled about space and layout and can begin to understand how those sources of information sharing the same-shaped functions across distances can help ramify judgments of layout by serving to correct measurement errors in each.

TL;DR: It is concluded that subjective contour and brightness contrast are distinct perceptual phenomena but share a dependency on the processing of edge information transmitted through the achromatic channels of the visual system.

TL;DR: It was found that familiarity with the shape that fit the subjective-contour-inducing pattern in this fashion increased the likelihood that subjective contours were perceived when the “containing” pattern was shown.

TL;DR: This discussion clarifies why, despite the visual system’s manifestly adaptive design, illusory contours are so abundant in visual percepts and suggests how illusary contours that are at best marginally visible can have powerful effects on perceptual grouping and object recognition processes.

TL;DR: A coloured addition by Varin to Kanizsa's triangle figure gives rise to a colour-tinted illusory triangle and two theories for this effect are described, a cognitive theory based on perceived transparency and an assimilation mechanism.
