Abstract

QUAGLIA, Maria Amélia Cesari  and  FUKUSIMA, Sérgio Sheiji. Visual depth inversion in hollow faces. Psicol. USP [online]. 2006, vol.17, n.4, pp. 87-101. ISSN 1678-5177.

We presented a review of papers on invertion of visual perceived depth mainly related to the hollow face illusion. We emphasized the supremacy of the top-down processes over the bottom-up processes on the perception of the depth inversion in hollow faces, the factors and condition that modulated it, and its possible applications to investigate behavioral, psychopathogical and psychopharmacological conditons.

Keywords : Visual perception; Depth perception; Behavioral symptoms; Cognitive processes.
