## TL;DR

This paper explores the potential connections between Gestalt principles of perception and the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, suggesting a unified perspective through Fourier analysis and quantum mechanics concepts.

## Contribution

It proposes a simplistic framework linking Gestalt perception principles with quantum mechanics, specifically the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, via Fourier transformation.

## Key findings

- Perception and sensation modeled through electrical signal processing.
- Fourier transformation as a bridge between perception and quantum mechanics.
- Initial conceptual link between Gestalt principles and quantum uncertainty.

## Abstract

Perception, sensation and re-action are central questions both in Psychology, Arts, Neurology and Physics. Some hundred years ago, believed to start with Wertheimer, researchers and artists tried to classify our human being "understanding" of Nature, in terms of \emph{Gestalt} principles. During same period \emph{Quantum} mechanics were developed by Schroedinger, Heisenberg, Dirac, Majorana and others. In this work we briefly summarize the basic concepts of these two approaches and try to combine them at a simplistic level. We show that, perception and sensation can be handled within electrical signal processing utilizing Fourier transformation, which finds its counter-part in quantum mechanics.
