  2. Filling-in - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filling-in

    There is also evidence for similar mechanisms of completion in normal visual analysis. Classical demonstrations of perceptual filling-in involve filling in at the blind spot in monocular vision, and images stabilized on the retina either by means of special lenses, or under certain conditions of steady fixation. For example, naturally in ...

  3. Watercolor illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watercolor_illusion

    In other words, the color spreading effect determines how the figure-ground effect is perceived. In most cases, the color spread tint is perceived as figure and the surrounding area is perceived as ground. As in the coloration effect, the watercolor illusion can show a figure-ground effect on white, black and colored backgrounds. [12]

  4. List of English-language metaphors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English-language...

    A metaphor is a literary figure of speech that uses an image, story or tangible thing to represent a less tangible thing or some intangible quality or idea; e.g., "Her eyes were glistening jewels". Metaphor may also be used for any rhetorical figures of speech that achieve their effects

  5. Kinetic depth effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_depth_effect

    In visual perception, the kinetic depth effect is the phenomenon whereby the three-dimensional structural form of an object can be perceived when the object is moving. In the absence of other visual depth cues , this might be the only perception mechanism available to infer the object's shape.

  6. Rubin vase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubin_vase

    The visual effect generally presents the viewer with two shape interpretations, each of which is consistent with the retinal image, but only one of which can be maintained at a given moment. This is because the bounding contour will be seen as belonging to the figure shape, which appears interposed against a formless background.

  7. Illusory contours - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_contours

    Although not explicitly part of the image, Kanizsa figures evoke the perception of a shape, defined by a sharp illusory contour. [2] Typically, the shape seems brighter than the background, even though the luminance is in reality homogeneous. Additionally, the illusory shape seem to be closer to the viewer than the inducers.

  8. Droste effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droste_effect

    The Droste effect (Dutch pronunciation:), known in art as an example of mise en abyme, is the effect of a picture recursively appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. This produces a loop which in theory could go on forever, but in practice only continues as far as the image's ...

  9. Phonemic restoration effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonemic_restoration_effect

    The phonemic restoration effect is the brain's way of resolving those imperfections in our speech. Without this effect interfering with our language processing, there would be a greater need for much more accurate speech signals and human speech could require much more precision. For experiments, white noise is necessary because it takes the ...
