Journal ArticleDOI
A Century of Gestalt Psychology in Visual Perception I. Perceptual Grouping and Figure-Ground Organization
Johan Wagemans,James H. Elder,Michael Kubovy,Stephen E. Palmer,Mary A. Peterson,Manish Singh,Rüdiger von der Heydt +6 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precise minds in uncertain worlds: Predictive coding in autism.
Sander Van de Cruys,Kris Evers,Ruth Van der Hallen,Lien Van Eylen,Bart Boets,Lee de-Wit,Johan Wagemans +6 more
TL;DR: It is argued that deficits in executive functioning, theory of mind, and central coherence can all be understood as the consequence of a core deficit in the flexibility with which people with autism spectrum disorder can process violations to their expectations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A century of Gestalt psychology in visual perception: II. Conceptual and theoretical foundations.
Johan Wagemans,Jacob Feldman,Sergei Gepshtein,Ruth Kimchi,James R. Pomerantz,Peter A. van der Helm,Cees van Leeuwen +6 more
TL;DR: Wagemans et al. as mentioned in this paper reviewed contemporary formulations of holism within an information-processing framework, allowing for operational definitions (e.g., integral dimensions, emergent features, configural superiority, global precedence, primacy of holistic/configural properties) and a refined understanding of its psychological implications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of visual symmetries
TL;DR: A critical examination of the extensive literature about the effects on symmetry detection of several major factors such as the orientation of the symmetry axis, the location of the stimulus in the visual field, grouping, and perturbations is carried out.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inferotemporal neurons represent low-dimensional configurations of parameterized shapes.
TL;DR: Using psychophysical measurements and single-cell recordings in macaque inferotemporal (IT) cortex, an agreement is found between low-dimensional parametric configurations of shapes and the representation of shape similarity at the behavioral and neuronal level, and an ordinally faithful but metrically biased representation is suggested.
