Bregman-Kanizsa display
|
|
Bregman-Kanizsa display A display which suggests that the presence of visible occluders permits amodal completion which aid figure-ground segmentation and object recognition.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Amodal
Perceptually present, but not having a real phenomenological presence. (As opposed to Modal).
Segmentation
The process by which muscles in the intestines move food and wastes through the body.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Bipolar cell
Key interneurons in the retina. Antagonistic center-surround receptive field organization. Makes excitatory connections to ganglion cells.
Blind spot
The location where optic nerve fibers leave the retina. This area has no photoreceptors and therefore no visual input. The cortex appears to fill-in this missing information so we are not conscious of the blind spot.
Blindsight
A phenomenon reported in individuals suffering from cortical blindness (i.e. damage to the primary visual cortex resulting in blindness). Individuals with blindsight report that they are unable to see, yet under forced choice conditions are able to indicate the presence and location of visually presented objects.
Block artifacts
Visual artifacts created when an image compressed with an algorithm using block coding is reconstructed.
Block coding
Any image processing technique which begins by subdividing the image into blocks.
Bregman-Kanizsa display
Border contrast
A localized contrast effect which is limited to the border immediately adjecent to the contrast discontinuity.
Brightness constancy
The perceived brightness of real objects in a natural environment is largely independent of changes in the overall illumination.
Broadband channel
Pathway that begins with the parasol (magno) ganglion cells in the retina and terminates within the magnocellular layer of the LGN. Has a high contrast gain than Parvocellular Pathway.
Broadband stimulus
A visual stimulus that can be considered to be the sum of a large number of sine-wave components.
Brow-Sulzer Effect
An enhancement of brightness/darkness perception is found in the time domain. Stimuli of short duration evoke stronger sensations than stimuli of long duration.
