Abstract
The research literature on the processes and mechanisms underlying illusory contour perception has been proliferating in recent years. Yet, what exactly do we know about illusory contour perception, and how much have we learned since Schumann first introduced it in 1900.
Illusion is the perceptual rule, not the exception.
—Geldard (1972, p. 144)
