Collinear facilitation and contour integration in autism: evidence for atypical visual integration [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction, atypical communication and a restricted repertoire of interests and activities.

Contour integration deficits at high spatial frequencies in children treated for anisometropic amblyopia [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 PurposeThis study was conducted to reexamine the question of whether children treated for anisometropic amblyopia have contour integration deficits. To do so, we used psychophysical methods that require global contour processing while minimizing the ...

An Event-Related Potential Examination of Contour Integration Deficits in Schizophrenia [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Perceptual organization, which refers to the ability to integrate fragments of stimuli to form a representation of a whole edge, part, or object, is impaired in schizophrenia. A contour integration paradigm, involving detection of a set of Gabor patches

Optimality of human contour integration. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2012 For processing and segmenting visual scenes, the brain is required to combine a multitude of features and sensory channels. It is neither known if these complex tasks involve optimal integration of information, nor according to which objectives ...

The role of sensory uncertainty in simple contour integration. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2020 Perceptual organization is the process of grouping scene elements into whole entities. A classic example is contour integration, in which separate line segments are perceived as continuous contours.

A feedforward mechanism for human-like contour integration. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyDeep neural network models provide a powerful experimental platform for exploring core mechanisms underlying human visual perception, such as perceptual grouping and contour integration-the process of linking local edge elements to arrive at a unified ...

Perceptual load modulates contour integration in conscious and unconscious states [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Previous research has documented that contour detection and integration may either be affected by local features such as the distances between elements or by high-level cognitive factors such as attention in our visual system. Less is known about how low

Inter-element orientation and distance influence the duration of persistent contour integration [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Contour integration is a fundamental form of perceptual organization. We introduce a new method of studying the mechanisms responsible for contour integration.

Contour integration with corners
Vision Research, 2016 Contour integration refers to the ability of the visual system to bind disjoint local elements into coherent global shapes. In cluttered images containing randomly oriented elements a contour becomes salient when its elements are coaligned with a smooth global trajectory, as described by the Gestalt law of good continuation. Abrupt changes of curvature
