  • Title: Physiology based simulation model of triangle shape recognition.
    Author: Pizlo Z.
    Journal: Biol Cybern; 1988; 58(1):51-62. PubMed ID: 3345320.
    Abstract:
    The present paper considers the relation between the shape of a triangle and probability of its recognition. An effect of triangle size on perception of its shape is examined in the first experiment. In the second the loci of eye fixations during triangle recognition task are recorded and analysed. A simulation model of the recognition process is proposed. The model is based on two main assumptions: 1. an accuracy of shape processing is related to the cortical magnification factor, 2. a subject's response depends on actual position of eye fixation. The validity of the model is verified by comparing the theoretical and experimental response distributions. Some psycho-physiological implications are then discussed.
