Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) One important question about the human visual system is whether it utilizes iterative relaxation in visual information processing. It's very fundamental but still an open question. Computational theories suggest that iterative relaxation is necessary to integrate spatially separated features or to solve visual ambiguity. On the other hand, some researchers pointed out that human can perform rather complicated visual tasks within very short duration, and claimed that a one-shot feed-forward mechanism without iterative processing is sufficient for most of visual tasks. To clarify the existence of an interative process, we used stimuli which had ambiguity, occlusion, and spatial binding of features. The results showed that the visual computation was not fast for this kind of visual tasks and that the percept varied continuously along with the processing time. This strongly suggests that an iterative computation is utilized by visual information processing in the brain.
