Resumo(s)
" Every day, we harness visual information to understand the surrounding world.
Dissecting the mechanisms underlying visual perception and how the visual flow is
processed throughout our brains, is thus pivotal. Risking entering a philosophical
debate regarding "true” vs “perceived” realities, one phenomenon which intrigues
many are optical illusions, where our brains are tricked by visual stimuli into inferring wrong or (perhaps more accurately put) unexpected percepts. In this thesis, we
investigated the visual continuity illusion – the illusion of seeing continuous light
despite that input is discrete – in rats. (...)"
