Book synopsis

Perceptual organization is the neuro-cognitive process that, taking the light in our eyes as input, enables us to perceive scenes as structured wholes consisting of objects arranged in space. This richly illustrated book explores the intriguing idea that such perceived wholes are given by the simplest organizations of scenes. It presents a truly multidisciplinary approach to answer fundamental questions related to this idea. For instance, how can the simplest interpretation of a scene be selected from among numerous alternatives, and how is this process neurally realized? Among other things, the author has developed transparallel processing by hyperstrings, which accounts for the high combinatorial capacity and speed of the human perceptual organization process. This form of processing is feasible in classical computers, is as powerful as quantum computers promise to be, and explains the role of neuronal synchronization in flexible cognitive architecture implemented in the relatively rigid neural architecture of the brain.
