Abstract : A model of the human visual system is investigated for psychological correlates. A priori hypotheses from the model concerned with human identification of defocused letters as well as identification of rotated letters have been validated with the computer model. Gestalt principles of similarity, proximity, closure, and figure-ground perception as well as geometric illusions are explained in terms of spatial filter bandwidth using the optics homolog. The experimental results have allowed postulates which extend the model by means of another cortical transform and a spatial filter shape which is also psychologically correlated. It is further postulated that the human perceptual space is the image domain from spatially filtered transforms of object forms. It is concluded that the model provides a means of obtaining quantitative psychological correlates of the human visual system. Recommendations are made for additional investigations concerning psychological correlates.
