The electrical phosphene threshold as a measure of retinal induction and visual organization.

Abstract

"Two Ss were used in a series of experiments designed to measure the spread of excitation about the borders of two identical circles…. It was suggested that the Gestalt properties of perceptual grouping have their bases in the structure of the induced fields which organizes the discrete elements into a unified figure. Thus, spread of excitation at the retinal level may be a source of the organizational property in such Gestalt phenomena." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
