Figure-ground
A perceptual phenomenon where the focus is on a central object (figure) while the rest (ground) forms a background, showcasing how our perception separates visual stimuli.
Monocular Cue

Superposition
A principle in physics that for any two overlapping waves, the resulting wave is obtained by adding the amplitudes of the individual waves at each point.
