:
Interpolation is modeled as the product of threefactors: smooth closure (SC), good continuation (GC),and minimal path (MP).
• SC: It is utilized as a superordinate principle that modulates the rivalry between GC and MP, forcingthe trajectory to be close and continuous everywhere.

synchronization of neuronal responses

:
synchronization of neuronal responses does not only play a role in the organization of cognitive processes but also in use-dependent modifications of synaptic efficacy.

:
Here, we present recordings from awake monkey primary visual cortex that show that in late (>80 ms) components of the neural responses a correlate of boundary formation is expressed, followed by a filling-in (also called colouring) between the edges. These data favour a model of segmentation where boundary formation initiates surface filling-in.

Kanizsa figure and saccadic compression

Vision Res. 2005 Feb;45(3):301-9.
Kanizsa figure does not defend against saccadic compression of visual space.

Sogo H, Osaka N.

:
We report that the apparent width of a Kanizsa illusory rectangle flashed in the perisaccadic period was compressed as much as that of a control stimulus that did not induce illusory rectangle, while that of a rectangle with real contour was less compressed.
