Induction of Kanizsa Contours Requires Awareness of the Inducing Context

Abstract: It remains unknown to what extent the human visual system interprets information about complex scenes without conscious analysis. Here we used visual masking techniques to assess whether illusory contours (Kanizsa shapes) are perceived when the inducing context creating this illusion does not reach awareness. In the first experiment we tested perception directly by having participants discriminate the orientation of an illusory contour. In the second experiment, we exploited the fact that the presence of an il… Show more

“…The model by Kogo et al (Kogo et al, 2010) describes this complete SCI formation process. This model implies that SCIs cannot be perceived without awareness of the inducing context, which is empirically supported by Banica et al (Banica & Schwarzkopf, 2016).…”

“…Thus, although many papers have studied the perceptual properties of gestalt imagery (showing that Kanizsa SCIs require awareness (Banica & Schwarzkopf, 2016) and are thus good for attention testing), few publications have used Kanizsa SCIs to study attention. In one example, (Sokhadze et al, 2012) used Kanizsa SCIs to test the ERPs of ADHD children, finding delayed early components in response to target stimuli and also that the delayed P3a component was better represented in the right hemisphere.…”
