Perceptual science is important to understand how humans and other animals perceive and experience scenes, objects and events. So, it is the essential science to predict how we construct reality and our Umwelt. We learn from perceptual phenomena that we only need a minimal amount of information to create rich worlds of imagination and perception. As such, perception is the perfect analogue to what we would like to call “Rich Minimalism” – the way to save resources while having even more fun as our brains complete the missing parts in a creative way. Here, we briefly mention three little examples from basic research to demonstrate the power of perception for creating efficiency, effectiveness, and economy while having great fun with the resulting minimalism.

感知科学对于了解人类和其他动物如何感知和体验场景、物体和事件非常重要。因此，预测我们如何构建现实和我们的环境是必不可少的科学。我们从感知现象中了解到，我们只需要最少量的信息就可以创造出丰富的想象和感知世界。因此，感知是我们所谓的“丰富的极简主义”的完美类比——在我们的大脑以创造性的方式完成缺失的部分时，节省资源的同时获得更多乐趣。在这里，我们简要提及三个来自基础研究的小例子，以展示感知在创造效率、有效性和经济性方面的力量，同时享受由此产生的极简主义带来的乐趣。
