Gestalten in visual perception are defined by emergent properties of the whole, which cannot be predicted from the sum of its parts; rather, they arise by virtue of inherent principles, the Laws of Seeing. This review attempts to assign neurophysiological correlates to select emergent properties in motion and contour perception and proposes parallels to the processing of local versus global attributes by classical versus contextual receptive fields. The aim is to identify Gestalt neurons in the visual system to account for the Laws of Seeing in causal terms and to explain "Why do things look as they do" (Koffka, 1935, p. 76).
在视觉感知中,形态是整体的涌现属性所定义的,不能从其部分的总和中预测;相反,它们是由于内在的原则,即“视觉法则”而产生的。这篇综述试图将神经生理学相关性分配给运动和轮廓感知中的特定涌现属性,并提出与经典和上下文感受野处理局部与整体属性的平行关系。目的是在因果关系上确定视觉系统中的格式塔神经元,以解释“事物为何如此呈现”(考夫卡,1935 年,第 76 页)。
