Just reading about perception in new scientist magazine- Gestalt principles; will post information once I have access to the website. Not sure it's what I'm looking for at the moment, but seems quite interesting.


Gestalt is a psychology term which means "unified whole". It refers to theories of visual perception developed by German psychologists in the 1920s. These theories attempt to describe how people tend to organize visual elements into groups or unified wholes when certain principles are applied.
