perception

• Perception


  The processing, organization and interpretation of the detected information by the brain to make sense of it
• Visual cues


  • Tricks the brain uses to understand from limited information how objects and collections of objects are related to each other in three-dimensional space
• Consistencies


  • The way the brain sees objects as the same despite changes in perspective and size
• Monocular depth cues


  • Cues that can be judged using only one eye, such as height in a plane, relative size, occlusion, and linear perspective
• Binocular depth cues


  • Cues that rely on the fact that we have two eyes, such as convergence of the eyes and binocular disparity
• Size consistency


  The brain's assumption that far away objects are smaller than closer ones, which can lead to misinterpretation of depth cues in visual illusions
• Ambiguity


  When the brain doesn't have enough visual cues to suggest features like depth or distance, leading to multiple possible interpretations
• Fiction


  When the brain perceives something that is not actually detected by the senses, as in the Kanizsa triangle illusion
