Visual Perception

Top-Down Visual Processing

http://psychology.uwo.ca/faculty/goodale/research/

Top-Down visualization is all about needing to see what we need when we need it. This image is a optical illusion which is of two faces with one concave and one projected. The projected face shows a normal face, which we see as standard yet the concave face stretches the dimensions and guides our eyes to look at it as if it were stretched out. It almost seems as if the concave image has depth but it is not there. We make the connection in our brain to see what we want to see but the fact is the image is not complete. Top-Down visualization is all about utilizing our attention span to focus on our goal of perception.
