Memorability of line drawings of scenes: the role of contour properties

S Han, M Rezanejad, DB Walther - Memory & Cognition, 2023 - Springer
Why are some images more likely to be remembered than others? Previous work focused on
the influence of global, low-level visual features as well as image content on memorability …

Local contour features contribute to figure-ground segregation in monkey V4 neural populations and human perception

M Shishikura, I Machida, H Tamura, K Sakai - Neural Networks, 2025 - Elsevier
Figure-ground (FG) segregation is a crucial step towards the recognition of objects in natural
scenes. Gestalt psychologists have emphasized the importance of contour features in …
