Although the role of surface-level processes has been demonstrated, visual interpolation
models often emphasize contour relationships. We report two experiments on geometric …

In this work we demonstrated, in the same scientific spirit as used by Gestalt psychologists,
unique and effective properties imparted by contrast polarity in perceptual grouping and …

We demonstrate history-dependent effects in the amodal representation of partially occluded
objects. The experience of seeing the fully visible objects before partial occlusion is shown …

We investigated whether amodal completion can bias apparent motion (AM) to deviate from
its default straight path toward a longer curved path, which would violate the well …

In three experiments, we examined the effect of temporal context in amodal completion of
partly occluded nontarget figures. In a primed same—different task, test pairs were preceded …

Completion of a partially occluded object requires that a representation of the whole is
constructed based on the information provided by the physically specified parts of the …

We examined whether symmetry-based grouping can take place in the absence of visual
awareness. To this end, we used a priming paradigm, sandwich masking as an invisibility …

Pattern completion is a ubiquitous and critical component of visual recognition under natural
conditions whereby we need to make inferences from partial information. Pattern recognition …

Competing theories of partially occluded object perception (amodal completion) emphasize
either relatively local contour relationships or global factors such as symmetry. These …

On many occasions, the perception of an object is based on incomplete information because
portions of the object are occluded from view. Nevertheless, people are able to identify an …
