• Gestalt psychology is like saying, "The picture is more than just the pieces." It's about how our brain puts things together to make sense of them
• Gestalt psychology helps us understand how our brain takes small parts and turns them into something bigger and more meaningful
• The eyes occupy different locations in space so havetwo different images of a scene - retinal image projectedonto the eye is essentially 2D
• Monocular(cues from one eye)
• Binocular (cues from both eyes) 16
• Each eye has a slightly different view of the world and the difference betweenthese two images is known as disparity.
• Conversely, a photograph never looks really deep, because binocular disparitytells the brain it’s a flat surface (conflicting with monocular cues illustrating depth).Looking at a photograph with one eye makes it look more real. 20
• o look at an object closer by, the eyes rotate towards each other(convergence)
• while for an object further away they rotate away fromeach other (divergence).
• your brain has a special “face detector” area called the fusiform face area (FFA)
• There’s a drawing called the Rubin vase illusion—it can look like a vase or two faces. When your brain spots the faces, the FFA gets more active! It’s like your brain is saying, “Yay, I found faces!”
• PareidoliaThis is the perception of apparentlysignificant patterns or recognizableimages, especially faces, in randomor accidental arrangements ofshapes and lines.
