Amuse R1 Exhaust Manifold from Bulletproof Automotive.
This image is a form of top-down visual processing because the viewer is immediately directed at the lines and direction of the manifold's exhaust runners. This is a form of goal-directed eye movement in which the syntactical design of the manifold causes the viewer to indirectly process the direction of airflow inside the manifold. There is a scan path along the runners of the object that go from right to left. I would also say that there are fixation points at each collector and where every pipe joins together. Saccades are prevalent in each weld along the manifold, connecting every piece of titanium piping together. I guess for those that are not mechanically inclined to automotive design works, it would be difficult for cognition to take place, but for those who understand the way that the design flow works, there is an evident looping action.
