Does visual perspective matter in imitation?

abstract：:How are works of art that present scenes that match potential expectations processed in the brain, in contrast to such scenes that can never occur in real life because they would violate physical laws? Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, we investigated the processing of surrealistic and naturalistic images i...

During ordinary perception we are generally aware of only one, or perhaps a few of these possibilities. Human vision evidently exploits...
