The authors report that the global characteristics of visual scenes influence the responses of cells in primary visual cortex to local features. These findings parallel those from perceptual studies on contour linkage and saliency.

In this study, the authors reveal functional interactions across primary visual cortex. These interactions possibly represent the substrate of contextual interactions seen in physiological and perceptual studies.

The authors observed changing levels of activity for cells in visual cortical area V3 during conditioning with an artificial scotoma on a time course similar to that seen for perceptual fill-in.
