Abstract

The contribution of local and global influence on angular induction was evaluated by varying the orientation of individual segments that were organized into an array. It was found that some of the misprojection of an oblique is determined by the orientation of the individual segments, and some by the overall configuration of the segments into two parallel bands. These results are integrated into a model that views angular induction as a lateral bias among orientation-sensitive neurons, with global influence differing from local influence only as a matter of scale.
