Talk preview: one generative inference algorithm unifying Gestalt perceptual organization
neuroprinciples · x · 2026-11-13
Researcher Tahereh Toosi announced a talk at the NIH Symposium on Models for Understanding Neural Computation: "From Pixels to Percepts: Unifying Gestalt Principles of Perceptual Organization."
The accompanying slide shows a Generative Inference framework — one algorithm spanning pixels to percepts that unifies recognition-based and generative accounts of vision, mapping classic Gestalt principles (illusory contours, grouping, figure-ground) onto a sensory-driven to prior-driven spectrum.
