Figure-ground perception

Figure ground perception is the way that we organize the visual field into objects (figures) that stand out from their surroundings (ground). This is a photo of a purse siting on a chair. Without figure-ground perception we would not be able to recognize that the purse is a separate figure from the chair (the ground) because they are the same material and could appear to blend together.
