The visual stimulus that our brain receives does not consist of objects. Therefore, a lot of processing needs to be done and assumptions need to be made by our perceptual system. Stimulus projects on retina, giving a two-dimensional representation of different colours and intensities of light. Structure of eye designed to project sharp image onto retina it is a sophisticated organ. We must interpret what we see (perception) Out perception goes beyond the information that is given. Cube: see two images from one picture, different orientations of a cube. Damage to system: visual agnosia (inability to recognize objects, cannot interpret what an object is) Location of objects and guiding actions and response.
