Shape Perception: Boundary Conditions on a Grey Area

Research output: Contribution to journal › Short survey › peer-review

Abstract

Modulations in light intensity across a visual image could be caused by a flat object with varying pigmentation, such as wallpaper, or differential light reflection from a three-dimensional shape made of uniform material, such as curtains. A new study identifies key image cues that help the brain work out which interpretation to select.
