On the Binding Problem in Artificial Neural Networks (2020, background): “Several other Gestalt laws have been found over the years (Alais et al., 1998; Palmer, 1992; Palmer and Rock, 1994), including for other sensory modalities, such as audio (Bregman, 1994) and tactile (Gallace and Spence, 2011).”
To see or not to see: analyzing difficulties in geometry from the perspective of visual perception (2010, methodology): “First, we refer to the perspective of organization by means of grouping and parsing (subdividing units into their subordinates) operations (Palmer and Rock, 1994) into higher order superordinate perceptual units or lower level subordinate units, which Duval (1999, p.”
Experience-Dependent Perceptual Grouping and Object-Based Attention (2002, result): “Also, the results of this study show that uniform connectedness ( Palmer & Rock, 1994 ) is not necessary for object attention.”
UpSet: Visualization of Intersecting Sets (2014, methodology): “For exclusive intersections, we also connect the filled circles with a line, crossing over excluded sets and thus use the Gestalt-like principle of connectedness [20].”
Competition for consciousness among visual events: the psychophysics of reentrant visual processes. (2000, background): “We leave unspecified, for the present description, the extent to which these patterns are determined by fixed templates that have been learned (e.g., Carpenter & Grossberg, 1987), dynamic templates that can be modified within allowable margins (e.g., Mumford, 1992), or structural algorithms that imp”

A Century of Gestalt Psychology in Visual Perception I. Perceptual Grouping and Figure-Ground Organization (2012, background): “Presumably, he believed that they were somehow derived from the grouping principles he articulated, but Palmer and Rock (1994) argued that they arise from the earlier organizational process of uniform connectedness (UC), which is the principle by which the visual system initially partitions an…”
Simplicity versus likelihood in visual perception: from surprisals to precisals. (2000, background): “Within the simplicity paradigm, the idea is that perception starts with considering all possible primitives and that those leading to the simplest descriptive code will be the perceptual primitives for the stimulus at hand (see also Palmer & Rock, 1994, for a similar fluid notion of primitives).”
A visual analytics approach to understanding cycling behaviour (2012, unknown): “…we call CILP++, has been implemented in C++ and is available to download from Sourceforge at https://sourceforge.net/projects/cilppp/ (the experiments reported in this paper can be reproduced by downloading the datasets and list of parameters from http://soi.city.ac.uk/~abdz937/bcexperiments.zip ).”
The “Physics” of Notations: Toward a Scientific Basis for Constructing Visual Notations in Software Engineering (2009, background): “Based on this, the diagram is parsed into its constituent elements and separated from the background (figure-ground segregation) [101], [149].”
