Abstract:Extrastriate visual areas are strongly activated by image symmetry. Less is known about symmetry representation at object-, rather than image-, level. Here we investigated electrophysiological responses to symmetry, generated by amodal completion of partially-occluded polygon shapes. We used a similar paradigm in four experiments (N=112). A fully-visible abstract shape (either symmetric or asymmetric) was presented for 250ms (t0). A large rectangle covered it entirely for 250ms (t1) and then moved to one side … Show more
