Some new phenomena in the perception of glass patterns.
Glass patterns are dot pattern displays producing percepts of local orientation and global organization. Our observations suggest that the organizational principles involved in our perception of such patterns may be more consistent with a cortical simple-cell-like mechanisms (i.e., a king of neural summation within various feature maps) than with symbolic processing based on feature similarity.
