Investigating accuracy of contour interpolation in modal and amodal completion by Koh, Nicklaus Zhi-Ming

“…We also found that all three types of perceptual completion interpolated the curvilinear contour stimulus flatter than their theoretical paths, of which, blind spot filling-in produced the flattest completions. Our study confirms previous findings regarding the shape of interpolated contours and also extends the understanding about the precision and accuracy of blind spot filling-in and modal completion, as well as amodal completion. …”
