“…Rather than being a limited topic of purely academic interest, amodal completion appears to play a pervasive role in our lives. The present special issue provides a wealth of beautiful phenomena and experimental contributions involving amodal completion, using abstract stimuli to test Gestalt-like processing, both in static displays ( Chen et al., 2018 ; Peta et al., 2019 ) and dynamic displays ( Anstis, 2018 ; Nakajima et al., 2019 ; Tyler, 2019 ), or more complex stimuli, for example, using stereoscopic fusion ( Tse, 2017a , 2017b ) or human faces ( Haberman & Ulrich, 2019 ), whereas other contributions highlight completion phenomena in a broad range of domains like art and design ( Koenderink et al., 2018 ; van Lier & Ekroll, 2019 ), magic ( Ekroll, De Bruyckere, et al., 2018 ), architecture ( Ekroll, Mertens, et al., 2018 ), fashion ( Kiritani et al., 2018 ), and even the history of astronomy ( Roncato, 2019 ). Besides that, this special issue also comprises extensive conceptual reviews from different angles: perceptual psychology ( Gerbino, 2020 ; Scherzer & Faul, 2019 ), philosophy ( Nanay, 2018 ), and neurosciences ( Thielen et al., 2019 ).…”
