PSYB57H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Necker Cube, Outline Of Object Recognition
Document Summary
Typoglycemia the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but by the word as the whole. So letters can be scrambled in a word and as long as the first/last letter are in place, it can be read. If you couldn"t recognize objects, you couldn"t build knowledge base. Simple visual features object recognition knowledge. There is also a loop where our previous knowledge can help us identify or recognise an object. One set of visual features but two possible interpretations. You can see both but only one at a time. Our perception is not just based on what is actually there to recognise/understand the object. An image can be static but it is our mind that is changing our perception. Bowl of fruit example: we say that there is one apple behind the banana. It is ambiguous because it could be two apples but our brain decides no, based on previous knowledge.
