Vision and Brain - How We Perceive the World (Paperback): James V Stone Vision and Brain - How We Perceive the World (Paperback)
James V Stone
R1,298 Discovery Miles 12 980 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

An engaging introduction to the science of vision that offers a coherent account of vision based on general information processing principles In this accessible and engaging introduction to modern vision science, James Stone uses visual illusions to explore how the brain sees the world. Understanding vision, Stone argues, is not simply a question of knowing which neurons respond to particular visual features, but also requires a computational theory of vision. Stone draws together results from David Marr's computational framework, Barlow's efficient coding hypothesis, Bayesian inference, Shannon's information theory, and signal processing to construct a coherent account of vision that explains not only how the brain is fooled by particular visual illusions, but also why any biological or computer vision system should also be fooled by these illusions. This short text includes chapters on the eye and its evolution, how and why visual neurons from different species encode the retinal image in the same way, how information theory explains color aftereffects, how different visual cues provide depth information, how the imperfect visual information received by the eye and brain can be rescued by Bayesian inference, how different brain regions process visual information, and the bizarre perceptual consequences that result from damage to these brain regions. The tutorial style emphasizes key conceptual insights, rather than mathematical details, making the book accessible to the nonscientist and suitable for undergraduate or postgraduate study.

R1,018 Discovery Miles 10 180 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Children enter the school doors today with many diverse needs: mental health problems, ADHD, anxiety, victims of physical or sexual abuse, homelessness, or facing some other type of trauma. Teachers in today's classrooms are struggling to understand the needs of their students and to provide a supportive and nurturing environment, while maintaining structure and routine. In whatever setting students are, teachers must understand the challenges that students come to school facing, know how to assess the needs of the children, build positive relationships with them, collaborate with others, and take care of themselves. The first book in this two book volume explored the needed components in setting the stage for meeting the needs of the students. This second volume provides the specific interventions that teachers will need to implement. Included in this volume are evidence-based academic interventions and behavioral interventions. Other chapters provide interventions to incorporate wellness and the creative arts. Strategies to teach social skills and to prepare students for independent living and the world of work are also an integral part of this volume.

Winner of the Christopher Award: This bestseller tells the inspirational true story of a girl with cerebral palsy and the mother who wouldn’t give up on her.

In 1940, when Karen Killilea was born three months premature and developed cerebral palsy, doctors encouraged her parents to put her in an institution and forget about her. At the time, her condition was considered untreatable, and institutionalization was the only recourse. But in a revolutionary act of faith and love, the Killileas never gave up hope that Karen could lead a successful life.

Written by Karen’s mother, Marie, this memoir is a profound and heartwarming personal account of a young mother’s efforts to refute the medical establishment’s dispiriting advice, and her daughter’s extraordinary triumph over seemingly insurmountable odds. Marie’s activism spread awareness of the mistreatment of disabled people in America and led to the formation of multiple foundations, including United Cerebral Palsy.

A larger-than-life story, Karen tells of a family’s courage, patience, and struggle in the face of extreme difficulty. The New York Times wrote, “You’ll want to read it most for Karen’s own words: ‘I can walk, I can talk. I can read. I can write. I can do anything.'

Susan Krieger
R447 Discovery Miles 4 470 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Come, Let Me Guide You explores the intimate communication between author Susan Krieger and her guide dog Teela over the ten-year span of their working life together. This is a book about being led by a dog to new places in the world and new places in the self, a book about facing life's challenges outwardly and within, and about reading those clues-those deeply felt signals-that can help guide the way. It is also, more broadly, about the importance of intimate connection in human-animal relationships, academic work, and personal life. In her previous book, Traveling Blind: Adventures in Vision with a Guide Dog by My Side, Krieger focused on her first two years with Teela, her lively Golden Retriever-Yellow Labrador. Come, Let Me Guide You continues the narrative, beginning at the moment the author must confront Teela's retirement and then reflecting on the entire span of their relationship. These emotionally moving stories offer the reader personal entree into a life of increasing pleasure and insight as Krieger describes how her relationship with her guide dog has had far-reaching effects, not only on her abilities to navigate the world while blind, but also on her writing and teaching, her ability to face loss, and her sense of self. Come, Let Me Guide You is an invaluable contribution to the literature on human-animal communication and on the guide-dog-human experience, as well as to disability and feminist ethnographic studies. It shows how a relationship with a guide dog is unique among bonds, for it rests upon highly regulated connections yet touches deep emotional chords. For Krieger, those chords have resulted in these memorable stories, often humorous and playful, always instructive, and generative of broader insight.

En el siglo 21 la cirugia ocular LASIK se ha convertido en un nombre familiar. Es como la teoria de la relatividad propuesta por Einstein. Cuando propuso por primera vez que solo unos pocos podian comprender. Ahora, ochenta anos mas tarde, que se ensena en las universidades y en las escuelas secundarias. Del mismo modo hoy, todos sabemos acerca de Lasik y la mayoria de nosotros ni siquiera conoce a alguien que ha pasado por la cirugia Lasik. Similar a la teoria de la evolucion de la relatividad, Cirugia Lasik tambien ha evolucionado. Sorprendentemente, se ha fusionado con la cirugia de cataratas para dar a luz a un nuevo procedimiento llamado Prelex. La pieza central de este procedimiento es Implante presbicia o Pi. En estos momentos estamos en el advenimiento de una gran ola de Pi en el ojo. En los ultimos anos, se hizo popular Lasik y luego cayo en desgracia debido a la desinformacion, anuncios falsos, y las guerras de precios afectaron la calidad de la cirugia. El Internet proporciona una gran cantidad de informacion, pero es un reto para tamizar a las tacticas de mercadeo de la verdadera ciencia. Este libro se basa en la premisa de que, si somos capaces de proporcionar y entender, herramienta cientifica y educativa, entonces la gente puede tomar una decision racional sobre sus ojos. El autor trae dos decadas de experiencia de interactuar con los pacientes, la realizacion de cirugias, y lo mas importante escuchar las preocupaciones de los pacientes, sus deseos y su retroalimentacion. Comun a la mayoria de nosotros, es el miedo a procedimientos quirurgicos. De hecho, nadie quiere tener que soportar la cirugia en absoluto. Pero, si el procedimiento es ampliamente explicado de una manera tranquila, podemos disipar una gran cantidad de miedos y preocupaciones. Un cirujano experto, con una buena manera, que utiliza la ultima tecnologia, y es apoyado por un personal calido y atento, puede hacer que el proceso sea bastante tolerable. Para obtener una vision de las dolencias que sufren, hay una variedad de opciones dadas el uso de tecnologias modernas de hoy. Este libro sobre Pi en el ojo, esta dirigido a aquellas personas mayores de 45 anos de edad que quieren ver mejor en todas las distancias sin necesidad de contactos o anteojos. Pi en el ojo tambien es util para las personas que estan sufriendo de cataratas. Ademas, sera una guia util incluso si anteriormente tuvo Lasik, queratotomia radial (RK), o cualquier otra cirugia del ojo. Si usted esta contemplando Lasik, o ha sido rechazado para Lasik, este libro sera un recurso valioso para elegir el mejor procedimiento. Este libro le guiara a traves del proceso de seleccion de un buen Pi en el ojo o el cirujano. Se le explicara las opciones de Pi, y cirugia de cataratas laser. Tambien se profundizara en los riesgos y beneficios de los procedimientos y la forma de prevenir las complicaciones. Este libro tambien le proporcionara informacion sobre la forma de obtener lo mejor de su procedimiento, asi como introducir el concepto de neuroadaptacion. Un poco de educacion e investigacion que recorren un largo camino en la creacion de una base solida. Este libro es una de las fuentes. Por supuesto que puede usar el Internet para aprender y educarse a si mismo. Si usted esta interesado usted puede incluso ver videos del procedimiento actual. Este libro puede servir como una fuente imparcial, objetiva y buena reputacion de la informacion provechosa perteneciente a los ojos y el procedimiento Pi. Es nuestra esperanza que podamos facilitar la propagacion de la calidad de su vision con de la ayuda de este libro.

All Because of Henry picks up the lead from the international bestseller, A Friend Like Henry, which traced the childhood journey of Dale, the Gardner family and, of course, their amazing golden retriever Henry, who has finally helped Dale to communicate with the world. Now, we meet Dale again, aged seventeen, to find out where his story goes next. He is no longer the victim of severe classical autism, but a young man facing a challenging and uncertain future. Autism changes, but it never goes away. Dale is ready for the world, but is the world ready for him and for his peers? We also catch up with the rest of the family and find out how the challenges that they've faced have affected their lives. His sister, Amy, has a quite different diagnosis of high-functioning autism and has brought different problems. And against the backdrop of the adversity and prejudice they've suffered, Nuala's marriage is crumbling. But there's now a new four-legged friend in the family to help them through it all. Henry's legacy is a continuing and generous one. In the steps of that wonderful dog, their tale takes unexpected twists. Nuala finds a new life and career, which, to her surprise, is often beyond these shores. Their story did not end with Henry; it began, and it continues, in wit, warmth, heartbreak, and ultimately, in triumph.

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is conceptualized as a neurobehavioural condition that is characterised by developmentally inappropriate levels of inattention, impulsivity and motor over activity. It is estimated to be present in 37% of school-aged populations and can result in significant impairment in academic, social and family functioning. In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the cognitive symptoms, genetics and treatment outcomes of ADHD. Topics discussed include the disadvantages and benefits of stimulant treatment; a discussion on whether professions differ in their beliefs about the causes and treatments of ADHD; motor coordination dysfunction in ADHD; nutrition optimisation in the multi-modal treatment of ADHD; and the relation between sluggish cognitive tempo and ADHD.

Wynford Dore 1
R437 Discovery Miles 4 370 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

A controversial drug-free method of treatment for learning disabilities, the Dore program has been hotly debated in the medical community. In this account, the man who began it all shares how dyslexia impacted his life and why the program he created works, complete with success stories. One man's quest to help his daughter led to the start of a whole new way of treating learning and attention difficulties, and this is his astounding story. When she was only nine years old, Susie Dore was diagnosed as dyslexic and told that nothing could be done to help her. Her increasing depression eventually led to three suicide attempts. Wynford set about finding a way to help her, selling his multimillion-dollar business and pouring his fortune into researching dyslexia and learning difficulties. His team of researchers showed that, almost invariably, these problems are caused by an incomplete physiological development and that an answer to them might be found in a specialized exercise program. This revolutionary book captures the findings that Dore proponents believe will change the way dyslexia and ADHD are approached forever. It explains the theory behind the ideas and, through a series of case studies, demonstrates the success stories and how these ideas have changed the lives of so many for good. It is invaluable reading for anyone involved with or affected by dyslexia or any other learning difficulty.
