Spiders possess a unique visual system, split into eight different eyes and divided into two fully independent visual pathways. This peculiar organization begs the question of how visual information is processed, and whether the classically recognized ...

Amodal completion and localization
In a three-line vernier acuity task, a central line was localized between two aligned line segments. Accuracy did not improve when the segments formed a unified amodally completed percept. In a two-line vernier acuity task, a line was localized below a target line placed next to a physically segmented flank stimulus. Shifts in mean points of subjective

How does our search engine "see" the world? The case of amodal completion. [PDF]
This article illustrates a dissociation between the perceived attributes of an object and the ability of those attributes to guide the deployment of attention in visual search. Orientation is an attribute that guides search.

Never Repeat the Same Trick Twice—Unless it is Cognitively Impenetrable
In their quest for creating magical experiences, magicians rely on a host of psychological factors. Here, we compare tricks based on attentional misdirection with tricks based on amodal completion.

Perception of illusory contour figures: Microgenetic analysis [PDF]
Microgenetic analysis was used to investigate perception of illusory contour figures which represent whole, completed forms on the basis of segmented, incomplete stimulation.

Background Humans readily perceive whole shapes as intact when some portions of these shapes are occluded by another object. This type of amodal completion has also been widely reported among nonhuman animals and is related to pictorial depth perception.

Amodal completion as a basis for illusory contours [PDF]
Kanizsa’s (1979) explanation of illusory contours in terms of amodal completion of perceptually incomplete elements was examined in five experiments by varying the elements partly delineating the corners and sides of a rectangle. The results from magnitude estimation of contour strength showed that (1) incomplete corner elements consistently resulted ...

Abstract Amodal completion is the representation of those parts of the perceived object that we don’t get sensory information from. In the case of vision, it is the representation of occluded parts of the objects we see. Amodal completion is not a perceptual curiosity, it happens virtually all the time we perceive.

Visual Discrimination Learning in the Jumping Spider Phidippus regius
Over the past decade, research in comparative psychology has increasingly focused on non-vertebrate models of cognition. Jumping spiders provide excellent models for the study of visually mediated behaviors, such as associative learning or the navigation

Retinal painting, anorthoscopic perception and amodal completion are terms to describe visual phenomena that highlight the spatiotemporal integrative mechanisms that underlie primate vision. Although commonly studied using simplified lab-friendly stimuli
