Recognizing the gist of a visual scene: possible perceptual and neural mechanisms

We try to understand the basics of human image processing from a gist recognition per-7 spective. Because the gist is only a subset of the image's information, we think that it is extracted with help of interpretation (feedback). In a perceptual section we list possible mech-9 anisms that the interpretation process uses to determine the gist: in addition to the commonly known local-to-global perception evolvement, there is likely to be also a global-to-local evolve-11 ment direction, a coarse=
