Document Summary
See world 3d with a 2d retina. Classical issues in perception (speech perception less so; hard to get experiments done) You need to perceive a contour rst contour: an area in the array of visual information in which there is an abrupt change in luminance. Look at white board with ping pong balls (cut in half) covering your eye. Ganzfeld (entire eld) **need contours or the system loses interest. Took contact lens; arm off of it (able to sit something on the arm so someone can look at it) Impossible to stop your eyes from moving. Create a stimulus where a contour stays the same place on the retina. As your eye moves, the lens moves along with the eye. Gestaltists and structuralists: law of similarity. The way one perceives the object; you get the pieces and it resonates with something in memory.
