Emergence of perceptual Gestalts in the human visual cortex: The case of the configural superiority effect

Jonas Kubilius, Johan Wagemans, & Hans P. Op De Beeck Many Gestalt phenomena have been described in terms of perception of a whole being not equal to the mere sum of its parts. It is unclear how these phenomena emerge

Feedforward emergence of perceptual gestalts in the human visual cortex

Jonas Kubilius, Johan Wagemans, & Hans P. Op De Beeck How does our visual system combine the features or parts in a complex display to provide a percept of a whole? Intense behavioral work in Gestalt psychology has described a

Invariance to mirror image reversals in the Lateral Occipital Complex (LOC) and Parahippocampal Place Area (PPA)

Jonas Kubilius, Daniel D. Dilks, Elisabeth S. Spelke, & Nancy Kanwisher Electrophysiological and behavioral studies in many species (e.g., octopus, pigeon, monkey, and human) have demonstrated mirror-image confusion for objects, perhaps because left/right information is rarely important in object recognition

The visual phantom illusion originates in “higher” cortical areas, not V1

Jonas Kubilius, Daniel D. Dilks, Chris I. Baker, & Nancy Kanwisher When two synchronized moving gratings are separated by a gap, and oriented along the axis connecting the gratings, faint bars are perceived in the gap (Tynan & Sekuler, 1975).
