Introduction

Unconscious inference is a term pertaining to perceptual psychology and was coined by Helmholtz, for describing reflex-like processes as a part of the development of visual impressions. In addition to this, he proposed a hypothesis stating that a perception can be inferred unconsciously for corresponding to the most probable circumstances or events that have the capability of producing patterns of the sensations that produced it.
