Summary
This paper attempts to set forth and correct recent misinterpretations of the Gestalt concept of isomorphism. It distinguishes the new “isomorphisms” currently being proposed from the original conception of Gestalt psychology. Finally, it reviews the implications of isomorphism tested experimentally by Köhler and his collaborators, through the demonstrations of steady cortical currents during perception. Experimental attempts to discredit the theory of cortical currents are evaluated.
