Paperback / softback
Description
The Perception of Illusory Contours is a complete and comprehensive volume on one of the most important phenomena in modern perception research.
An illusory contour is a demonstration in which people perceive edges, surfaces, objects and colors that have no physical reality.
The international group of distinguished researchers which comprise the contributors to the volume present new theoretical interpretations and data in addition to reviewing the extensive literature on this topic.
The volume begins with an introduction to the research on and theories behind illusory contours and their applications to other areas of perception, cognitive science and art.
The collection also features English language translations of the seminal papers by Schumann, Ehrenstein, and Kanizsa, the scientists who originally discovered and investigated the phenomenon.
The Perception of Illusory Contours contains the most comprehensive set of illusory contour figures ever assembled.
The volume is a most significant reference work in an area of research at the critical intersection of perception, cognitive science, visual neurophysiology, and artificial intelligence.
