Paper Abstract

Previously we studied the effect of spatiotemporal pattern of transients on perceptual organization. Transient synchrony/asynchrony was critical in novel illusions of contextual motion (Likova & Tyler, 2002, 2003a, b). We found that strong image segmentation can be generated from transient asynchronies in fields of homogeneous visual noise, a phenomenon that we term 'Structure-from-Transients' (SfT). Here we used fMRI to reveal cortical mechanisms involved in SfT. The stimuli were random dot fields o
