The Gestalt Group

The Gestalt Group is a collection of principles from Gestalt psychology, which studies how humans perceive visual information as organized and whole rather than just a sum of parts. It explains how we naturally group elements based on factors like proximity, similarity, continuity, and closure. For example, we see a pattern or a complete shape even when parts are missing. These principles help us understand how our brains interpret complex images and scenes quickly, forming coherent perceptions from the raw visual data we encounter daily.
