  2. Geometrical-optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical-optical_illusions

    Explanations of geometrical–optical illusion are based on one of two modes of attack: the physiological or bottom-up, seeking the cause of the deformation in the eye's optical imaging or in signal misrouting during neural processing in the retina or the first stages of the brain, the primary visual cortex, or

  3. Tessellation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation

    Any one of these three shapes can be duplicated infinitely to fill a plane with no gaps. [6] Many other types of tessellation are possible under different constraints. For example, there are eight types of semi-regular tessellation, made with more than one kind of regular polygon but still having the same arrangement of polygons at every corner ...

  4. Optical illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_illusion

    The use of perceptual organization to create meaning out of stimuli is the principle behind other well-known illusions including impossible objects. The brain makes sense of shapes and symbols putting them together like a jigsaw puzzle, formulating that which is not there to that which is believable. [citation needed]

  5. Geon (psychology) - Wikipedia

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

    Two cases of two interrelated geons, What does the reader imagine in each case? There are 4 essential properties of geons: View-invariance: Each geon can be distinguished from the others from almost any viewpoints except for “accidents” at highly restricted angles in which one geon projects an image that could be a different geon, as, for example, when an end-on view of a cylinder can be a ...

  6. Brain morphometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_morphometry

    One surface-based study compared the brain shape between these two groups and found a difference in their gender-dependent brain asymmetries. Neuroimaging studies of this kind, combined with functional ones and behavioural data, provide promising and so far largely unexplored avenues to understand similarities and differences between different ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Form constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_constant

    Klüver's four form constants. In 1926, Heinrich Klüver systematically studied the effects of mescaline on the subjective experiences of its users. In addition to producing hallucinations characterized by bright, "highly saturated" colors and vivid imagery, Klüver noticed that mescaline produced recurring geometric patterns in different users.

  9. Mental rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_rotation

    One of the theories concerning autism is the EMB (extreme male brain). This theory considers autistic people to have an "extreme male brain". In a study [33] from 2015, researchers confirmed that there is a difference between male and female in mental rotation task (by studying people without autism): males are more successful. Then they ...
