Feedback from lateral occipital cortex to V1/V2 triggers object completion: Evidence from functional magnetic resonance imaging and dynamic causal modeling

S Chen, R Weidner, H Zeng, GR Fink… - Human brain …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Illusory figures demonstrate the visual system's ability to integrate disparate parts into
coherent wholes. We probed this object integration process by either presenting an …

Retinotopic activation in response to subjective contours in primary visual cortex

M Maertens, S Pollmann, M Hanke… - Frontiers in human …, 2008 - frontiersin.org
Objects in our visual environment are arranged in depth and hence there is a considerable
amount of overlap and occlusion in the image they generate on the retina. In order to …

Visual field and task influence illusory figure responses

AA Bakar, L Liu, M Conci, MA Elliott… - Human Brain …, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
In normal viewing conditions, many objects are often hidden or occluded by others, therefore
restricting the information that enters the eye. One ability that the human visual system has …
