Abstract
"The arguments presented here are tentative, and in many respects speculative, yet they offer a consistent theory of form perception as an alternative to the diffusion hypothesis, which lacks neurophysiological foundation. The theory from which these arguments have been derived, although itself speculative to a certain degree, is based firmly upon neurophysiological and anatomical facts. It also has the less important but nevertheless relevant commendation that it has proved fruitful in dealing with other aspects of visual form perception. For the purposes of clear and detailed exposition, this paper has been confined largely to the treatment of form perception at low levels of illumination, with increasing contrast between figure and ground." 27 references.
