Specialised higher-level mechanisms for facial-symmetry perception: evidence from orientation-tuning functions.

abstract：:Mach bands are illusory bright and dark bands seen where a luminance plateau meets a ramp, as in half shadows or penumbras. It has previously been shown that Mach bands are attenuated by placing stimuli, such as bars, nearby. It was shown in an experiment in which Mach-band attenuation for bar and Craik-O'Brien stimul...

Contrary to a recent result reported by Richards and Lieberman, no difference in their performance was found; both mechanisms appeared equally capable of supporting the perception of good structure from motion. ...
