Abstract(in English) We performed a series of psychological experiments using stimuli with small triangles which have the property of figure, in order to clarify the relation between the visual functions of contour integration and figure-ground separation. We obtained the results that contour integration is facilitated when triangles are aligned so that edges of them are on a smooth contour and figural side of those edges are identical against the smooth contour. Those results show that (1) lines assigned border-ownership signals can be integrated into a contour, and that (2) the contour integration tends to be weak when ownership sides are not identical against the contour. The processes of contour integration and figure-ground separation are not one-way cascade manner, but the mutual and interactive one.
