    Example of illusory continuity stimulus: discontinuous rising tone. The tone sounds continuous to some listeners.

    The gestalt principles of perception govern the way different objects are grouped. Good form is where the perceptual system tries to fill in the blanks in order to see simple objects rather than complex objects. Continuity is where the perceptual system tries to disambiguate which segments fit together into continuous lines.

  5. Illusory discontinuity - Wikipedia

  9. Chronostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronostasis

    Overall, chronostasis occurs as a result of a disconnection in the communication between visual sensation and perception. Sensation, information collected from our eyes, is usually directly interpreted to create our perception. This perception is the collection of information that we consciously interpret from visual information. [7]
