3-D constraints on spatially parallel shape perception.

Journal article

We report evidence from three sets of experiments dealing with spatially parallel grouping of parts in single objects. A first set of experiments demonstrates that parts can be encoded in a spatially parallel manner in three-dimensional (3-D) objects, while there is a serial selection of parts across objects. A second set of experiments further shows that grouping in 3-D is less affected by eliminating collinearity between the parts of objects than grouping in two dimensions, suggesting that ...
