Psychophysics and Experimental Phenomenology of Pattern Cognition examines the cognitive transformations that underly this cognitive system and the specialized subsystems for processing these transformations. Sections cover symmetry cognition, contour perception and geometric illusion. Weight sensation is also discussed, as are repetitive and dot patterns. By incorporating elements of both psychophysics and experimental phenomenology, pattern cognition is examined from both the physical and mental sensory perspective, thus providing a comprehensive view of this cognitive system.

Part 1. Symmetry cognition 1. Rotational and reflectional transformations 2. Goodness and simplicity of dot patterns in a regular hexagonal grid 3. Cognitive judgments and group theoretical model for dot patterns in a square grid 4. A three-stage model with group theory and a spatial filter for cognitive judgments 5. Cognitive judgments for repetitive patterns 6. Cognitive judgments for one-dimensional black-and-white filled patterns

Part 2. Contour perception and brightness illusion 7. Mathematical models of an antagonistic process of excitation and inhibition 8. The brightness illusions and a five-level qualitative model based on the decrease in brightness levels 9. A five-level qualitative model for various aspects of brightness contrast 10. A three-level qualitative model for the Ehrenstein illusions

Part 3. Size of the circle in a geometrical illusion 11. The Ebbinghaus illusion as a circle size contrast 12. The Delboeuf illusion by comparative judgment 13. Concentric circle illusion and judgment-order effect by absolute judgments

Part 4. Negative time-order effect on weight sensation 14. Excitation and inhibition in negative time-order effect
