Cortical oscillatory activity associated with the perception of illusory and real visual contours (2009)
Journal Article

International Journal of Psychophysiology, 73(3), 265-272. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpsycho.2009.04.004

We used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to examine the nature of oscillatory brain rhythms when passively viewing both illusory and real visual contours. Three stimuli were employed: a Kanizsa triangle; a Kanizsa triangle with a real triangular contour...
