anyone interested in this topic should check out Visual Intelligence, by Don Hoffman:

http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Intelligence-How-Create-What/dp...

The book deduces a set of rules that your brain must follow in order to construct a (mostly) correct interpretation of the limited data that it gets. It does this with a series of experiments that the reader can test. While possibly no longer up to date on the latest research, it's simply a delight to read.
