Pointing the Perceived Center of a Flat Figure

Veridical perception of the environment implies, among its very early stages revealing global orientation of surfaces, objects and an observer as well as their mutual orientations in the outer world. Perceived orientation contributes a great deal to perception of object shape because we, and most forms around us, are monooriented bodies. In other cases, when orientation is less clear, a visual shape by itself or in some contexts may be perceived as having a particular orientation.
