  2. Geon (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geon_(psychology)

    Objects represented as an arrangement of geons would, similarly, be viewpoint invariant. Stability or resistance to visual noise: Because the geons are simple, they are readily supported by the Gestalt property of smooth continuation, rendering their identification robust to partial occlusion and degradation by visual noise as, for example ...

  3. Special senses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_senses

    Visual perception is the ability to interpret the surrounding environment using light in the visible spectrum reflected by the objects in the environment. The resulting perception is also known as visual perception, eyesight, sight, or vision (adjectival form: visual, optical, or ocular). The various physiological components involved in vision ...

  4. Sense - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense

    For example, the general sensation and perception of touch, which is known as somatosensation, can be separated into light pressure, deep pressure, vibration, itch, pain, temperature, or hair movement, while the general sensation and perception of taste can be separated into submodalities of sweet, salty, sour, bitter, spicy, and umami, all of ...

  5. Sensory processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing

    It may seem redundant that we are being provided with multiple sensory inputs about the same object, but that is not necessarily the case. This so-called "redundant" information is in fact verification that what we are experiencing is in fact happening. Perceptions of the world are based on models that we build of the world. Sensory information ...

  6. Gestalt psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_psychology

    Gestalt's theories of perception enforces that individual's tendency to perceive actions and characteristics as a whole rather than isolated parts, [13] therefore humans are inclined to build a coherent and consistent impression of objects and behaviors in order to achieve an acceptable shape and form.

  7. Visual system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_system

    Cones are found primarily in the center (or fovea) of the retina. [25] There are three types of cones that differ in the wavelengths of light they absorb; they are usually called short or blue, middle or green, and long or red. Cones mediate day vision and can distinguish color and other features of the visual world at medium and high light ...

  8. Ponzo illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzo_illusion

    A further object would have to be longer than a nearer one for both to produce retinal images of the same size. Another explanation is the " framing-effects hypothesis ", which says that the difference in the separation or gap of the horizontal lines from the framing converging lines may determine, or at least contribute to the magnitude of the ...

  9. Form perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_perception

    Form perception is the recognition of visual elements of objects, specifically those to do with shapes, patterns and previously identified important characteristics. An object is perceived by the retina as a two-dimensional image, [1] but the image can vary for the same object in terms of the context with which it is viewed, the apparent size of the object, the angle from which it is viewed ...
