| Sumario: | Perceptual organization bridges the gap between the low-level building blocks of incoming sensations and the high-level interpretation of these inputs as meaningful objects, scenes and events in the world. In the visual modality, for instance, the features signaled by the neurons in low-level cortical areas must be combined in order for the high-level areas to make sense of them. But a similar functionality of perceptual organization is present in other modalities too (e.g., audition, haptics). Perceptual organization comprises a wide range of processes such as perceptual grouping, figure-ground organization, filling-in, completion, perceptual switching, etc. Such processes are most notable in the context of shape perception but they also play a role in texture perception, lightness perception, color perception, motion perception, depth perception, etc. Perceptual organization deals with a variety of perceptual phenomena of central interest, studied from many different perspectives, including psychophysics, experimental psychology, neuropsychology, neuroimaging, neurophysiology, and computational modeling. Given its crucial role in phenomenal experience, perceptual organization has also figured prominently in classic Gestalt writings on the topic, touching upon deep philosophical issues regarding mind-brain relationships and consciousness. In addition, it is of central importance in applied areas like visual art, design, architecture, music, and so forth. |
