Using event-related potentials (ERPs) we investigated the influence of object knowledge on
perceiving partly occluded shapes. We created stimuli based on well-known objects of …

Amodal completion refers to the perceptual “filling-in” of partly occluded object fragments.
Previous work has shown that object completion occurs efficiently, at early perceptual stages …

Numerous clinical investigations, designed to test for hemispheric asymmetries in
perceptual organization, have used incomplete forms as stimuli. A naming defect is unlikely …

Ideally, a cognitive architecture is a neurally plausible model that unifies mental
representations and cognitive processes. Here, I apply such a model to re-evaluate the local …

We report on two experiments, published originally in Japanese, on judged goodness and
simplicity of dot patterns with reflectional and rotational symmetries (with 1–4 reflection axes …

In this study we manipulate the distribution of contrast polarity reversals in inducing
configurations to create novel variants of modal and amodal completion. The novel variants …

Study of human brain function after brain lesions can reveal much about the function of the
intact brain. HJA suffered a stroke in 1981 which led to a large lesion in the ventral visual …

A mixed reality environment, namely the space resulting from displaying virtual contents co-
registered to the real space, represents an effective paradigm for applying the potential of …

In humans and some nonhuman vertebrates, a sound containing brief silent gaps can be
rendered perceptually continuous by inserting noise into the gaps. This so-called “continuity …

According to an influential variety of the representational view of perceptual experience—the
singular content view—the contents of perceptual experiences include singular propositions …
