Abstract

Research on figure-ground perception has consistently found that red images are more likely to be perceived as figure/nearer, yet the mechanisms behind this are not completely clear. The primary theories have pointed to optical chromatic aberrations or cortical mechanisms, such as the antagonistic interactions of the magno-/parvocellular (M/P) systems. Our study explored this color-biased figure-ground perception by examining the duration for which a region was perceived as figure under both binocular and monocular conditions, using all combinations of red, blue, green, and gray. In Experiment 1, we used figure-ground ambiguous Maltese crosses, composed of left- and right-tilting sectors of equal area. In Experiment 2, the crosses were figure-ground biased with size and orientation cues. Here, small sectors of cardinal orientations, likely perceived as figure, were contrasted with larger, obliquely oriented sectors, likely perceived as ground. Under monocular conditions, the results aligned with chromatic aberration predictions: red advanced and blue receded, regardless of size and orientation. However, under binocular conditions, the advancing effect of red continued, but the receding effect of blue was generally not observed. Notably, blue, along with red and green, was more frequently perceived as figure compared to gray. The results under binocular viewing are in line with the expectations of the antagonistic M/P system interactions theory, likely due to the collective input from both eyes, facilitating the anticipated effects. Our findings suggest that color-biased figure-ground perception may arise from the synergistic effect of antagonistic M/P system interactions and other optical and cortical mechanisms, together compensating for chromatic aberrations.

单目和双目观看时,"前进 "和 "后退 "色彩对图形-地面感知的影响。
有关 "人物-地面 "感知的研究不断发现,红色图像更容易被感知为 "人物/近景",但其背后的机制并不完全清楚。主要的理论都指向光学色差或大脑皮层机制,如磁/副细胞(M/P)系统的拮抗相互作用。我们的研究通过检测在双目和单目条件下,使用红、蓝、绿和灰的所有组合将一个区域感知为图形的持续时间,探索了这种有颜色偏差的图形-地面感知。在实验 1 中,我们使用了由面积相等的左右倾斜扇形组成的图形-地面模糊的马耳他十字架。在实验 2 中,十字架是带有大小和方向线索的图形-地面偏置。在这里,正方向的小扇形可能被认为是图形,而斜方向的大扇形则可能被认为是地面。在单目条件下,结果与色差预测一致:无论大小和方向如何,红色前进,蓝色后退。然而,在双目条件下,红色的前进效应仍在继续,但蓝色的后退效应一般没有观察到。值得注意的是,与灰色相比,蓝色以及红色和绿色更常被视为图形。双眼观察下的结果符合拮抗 M/P 系统相互作用理论的预期,这可能是由于双眼的集体输入促进了预期效应的产生。我们的研究结果表明,颜色偏向的图形-地面感知可能来自拮抗M/P系统相互作用和其他光学及皮层机制的协同效应,它们共同补偿了色差。

期刊介绍: The journal Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics is an official journal of the Psychonomic Society. It spans all areas of research in sensory processes, perception, attention, and psychophysics. Most articles published are reports of experimental work; the journal also presents theoretical, integrative, and evaluative reviews. Commentary on issues of importance to researchers appears in a special section of the journal. Founded in 1966 as Perception & Psychophysics, the journal assumed its present name in 2009.
