It is amazing how often these Gestalt principles of perception come into play in our daily lives. I was thinking about this the other day when I was looking at someone's handwritten notes - like a lot of people's handwriting, there were lots of unclosed letters, yet we can make out the full words because of this idea of closure. Well, glad you're enjoying the podcast! Thanks for all the positive comments. It is amazing how often these Gestalt principles of perception come into play in our daily lives.

Closure, Similarity, and Proximity. Every since I've watched the podcast I notice myself paying close attention to things that remind me of Gesalt Perception.

I loved the examples in the video. I did have a little difficulty viewing the pictures. Until you showed the pictures in different ways. I never knew about Gesalt Perception, but I feel you've helped me to understand it. I feel as though the podcast is very informative as it relates to psychology. Hi Michael!

I wonder is it a woman or man face. It is very strange that you see a face on Mars. I wonder is it a woman or man face.
