Visual Perception Part 1

This book presents a collection of articles reflecting state-of-the-art research in visual perception, specifically concentrating on neural correlates of perception. Each section addresses one of the main topics in vision research today. Volume 1Fundamentals of Vision: Low and Mid-Level Processes in Perceptioncovers topics from receptive field analyses to shape perception and eye movements. A variety of methodological approaches are represented, including single-neuron recordings, fMRI and optical imaging, psychophysics, eye movement characterization and computational modelling. The contributions will provide the reader with a valuable perspective on the current status of vision research, and more importantly, with critical insight into future research directions and the discoveries yet to come. Provides a detailed breakdown of the neural and psychophysical bases of Perception Presents never-before-published original discoveries Includes multiple full-color illustrations
