Filling-in is a perceptual phenomenon in which a visual attribute such as colour, brightness,
texture or motion is perceived in a region of the visual field even though such an attribute …

Perceptual filling-in occurs when structures of the visual system interpolate information
across regions of visual space where that information is physically absent. It is a ubiquitous …

A visual scene is rapidly segmented into the regions that are occupied by different objects
and background. Segmentation may be initiated from the detection of boundaries, followed …

The brightness and color of a surface depends on its contrast with nearby surfaces. For
example, a gray surface can appear very light when surrounded by a black surface or dark …

A plethora of theories and studies exist that focus on the relationship between colour and
esthetic response as well as the construction of colour harmony. However, consensus …

Although the human visual system can accurately estimate the reflectance (or lightness) of
surfaces under enormous variations in illumination, two equiluminant grey regions can be …

This study develops a neural model of how the visual system may process natural images
under variable illumination conditions to generate surface lightness percepts. It is known that …

Looking at the world with one eye, we do not notice a scotoma in the receptor-free area of
the visual field where the optic nerve leaves the eye. Rather we perceive the brightness …

Although there is no retinal input within the blind spot, it is filled with the same visual
attributes as its surround. Earlier studies showed that neural responses are evoked at the …

There is ample evidence from demonstrations such as color induction and stabilized images
that information from surface boundaries plays a special role in determining the perception …
