While the field of vision science has grown significantly in the past three decades, there have been few comprehensive books that showed readers how to adopt a computional approach to understanding visual perception, along with the underlying mechanisms in the brain. Understanding Vision explains the computational principles and models of biological visual processing, and in particular, of primate vision. The book is written in such a way that vision scientists, unfamiliar with mathematical details, should be able to conceptually follow the theoretical principles and their relationship with physiological, anatomical, and psychological observations, without going through the more mathematical pages. For those with a physical science background, especially those from machine vision, this book serves as an analytical introduction to biological vision. It can be used as a textbook or a reference book in a vision course, or a computational neuroscience course for graduate students or advanced undergraduate students. It is also suitable for self-learning by motivated readers. in addition, for those with a focused interest in just one of the topics in the book, it is feasible to read just the chapter on this topic without having read or fully comprehended the other chapters. In particular, Chapter 2 presents a brief overview of experimental observations on biological vision; Chapter 3 is on encoding of visual inputs, Chapter 5 is on visual attentional selection driven by sensory inputs, and Chapter 6 is on visual perception or decoding. Including many examples that clearly illustrate the application of computational principles to experimental observations, Understanding Vision is valuable for students and researchers in computational neuroscience, vision science, machine and computer vision, as well as physicists interested in visual processes.

With predation and carnivory as catalysts, the first known eye appeared in a trilobite during the Cambrian explosion approximately 543 million years ago. This period was a crucible of evolution and teemed with anatomic creativity although the journey to formed vision actually began billions of years before that.
The Cambrian period, however, spawned nearly all morphologic forms of the eye, followed by descent over hundreds of millions of years providing an unimaginable variety of eyes with at least ten different designs. Some eyes display spectacular creativity with mirror, scanning or telephoto optics. Some of these ocular designs are merely curiosities, while others offer the finest visual potential packed into a small space, limited only by the laws of diffraction or physiological optics.
For example, some spiders developed tiny, well-formed eyes with scanning optics and three visual pigments; scallops have 40-100 eyes circling their mantle, each of which has mirror optics and contains two separate retinae per eye; deep ocean fish have eyes shaped like tubes containing yellow lenses to break camouflage; and some birds have vision five times better than ours; but this is only part of the story. Each animal alive today has an eye that fits is niche perfectly demonstrating the intimacy of the evolutionary process as no other organ could. The evolution of the eye is one of the best examples of Darwinian principles.
Although few eyes fossilize in any significant manner, many details of this evolution are known and understood. From initial photoreception 3.75 billion years ago to early spatial recognition in the first cupped eyespot in Euglena to fully formed camera style eyes the size of beach balls in ichthyosaurs, animals have processed light to compete and survive in their respective niches.
It is evolution's greatest gift and its greatest triumph. This is the story of the evolution of the eye.

In the past few years, there has been an explosion of eye movement research in cognitive science and neuroscience. This has been due to the availability of 'off the shelf' eye trackers, along with software to allow the easy acquisition and analysis of eye movement data. Accompanying this has been a realisation that eye movement data can be informative about many different aspects of perceptual and cognitive processing. Eye movements have been used to examine the visual and cognitive processes underpinning a much broader range of human activities, including, language production, dialogue, human computer interaction, driving behaviour, sporting performance, and emotional states. Finally, in the past thirty years, there have been real advances in our understanding of the neural processes that underpin eye movement behaviour.
The Oxford Handbook of Eye Movements provides the first comprehensive review of the entire field of eye movement research. In over fifty chapters, it reviews the developments that have so far taken place, the areas actively being researched, and looks at how the field is likely to devlop in the coming years. The first section considers historical and background material, before moving onto section 2 on the neural basis of eye movements. The third and fourth sections looks at visual cognition and eye movements and eye movement pathology and development. The final sections consider eye movements and reading and language processing and eye movements.
Bringing together cutting edge research from and international team of leading psychologists, neuroscientists, and vision researchers, this book is the definitive reference work in this field.

Sehen und Erkennen ist ein anspruchsvolles Fachbuch fur Wissenschaftler in der medizinischen Optik und am Thema Interessierte. Daneben kann es auch als fundierte Einfuhrung in das Thema dienen, da die verschiedenen Aspekte bisher nur verstreut in der Literatur zu finden waren. Ausgehend von den physikalischen und signaltheoretischen sowie physiologischen Grundlagen wird die Psychophysik des Sehens ausfuhrlich besprochen. Optische Phanomene, wie die der Sinnestauschungen, werden mit Hilfe zahlreicher, teils farbiger Abbildungen sehr anschaulich erlautert. Dem visuellen Erkennen und Interpretieren der Umwelt wurde am Schluss des Buches ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet. Fur Physiker und Mediziner sowie fortgeschrittene Studenten der Physik (Optik) und Medizin (Ophthalmologie)

Over the past decade there have been major advances in the management of patients with craniofacial trauma. These have been fuelled by new concepts and techniques arising from the elective repair of congenital craniofaciald deformities, and also by the increase in survival after trauma, due to improved resuscitation techniques. More radical approaches to complex problems have been achieved by multidisciplinary teams, with close collaboration between the neurosurgeon, maxillofacial surgeon, otorhinolaryngologist, ophthalmic, plastic, and accident and emergency surgeon. This book is the first to provide a multidisciplinary approach to the management of craniofacial trauma. Each section has been written by a specialist involved in craniofacial trauma, from the point of view of their own particular discipline, and presents vital information on the practical manamgement strategies.

Die Anregung, das vorliegende kleine Buch uber die Pupille zu verfassen, gab mir der wiederholte Wunsch von Kollegen, die am Pupillenkurs der Essener Fortbildungstagung fur Augenarzte teil- nehmen, ein Kompendium uber die Pupillenstoerungen zu haben. Nicht zuletzt deswegen habe ich wahrend der ganzen Arbeit ver- sucht, mich nach diesem Bedurfnis der praktizierenden Kollegen zu orientieren. Die "Pupille" ist in erster Linie als Leitfaden zur Differential- diagnose bei verschiedenen Pupillenstoerungen fur den Augenarzt und Nervenarzt in der Ausbildung und in der Praxis gedacht. Sicherlich wird manches dem Augenarzt als uberflussig, weil elementar, erscheinen; es ist fur den Nervenarzt gedacht. Und um- gekehrt wird es dem Nervenarzt wahrscheinlich genau so ergehen, wofur ich Verstandnis voraussetze. Der Teil uber die Physiologie der Pupille im 1. Kapitel, insbe- sondere uber ihre Abhangigkeit von der Netzhaut-Sinnesfunktion, ist eine Zusammenfassung eigener fruherer Arbeiten und einer Monographie, die 1971 erschienen ist. Die ersten 2 Kapitel des Bu- ches, die teilweise sehr knapp gefasst worden sind, sollen nicht nur dem Kliniker, sondern auch dem speziell an der Pupille interessier- ten physiologisch-experimentell tatigen Kollegen als Anfangshin- weis dienen. Mit dem Abschnitt uber Pupillenverhalten bei Intoxi- kationen im 3. Kapitel, der die Pathologie der Pupille behandelt, sollen auch andere Fachdisziplinen angesprochen werden.

Tips fur die Praxis, insbesondere die Patientenselektion- und beratung werden, basierend auf den theoretischen Grundlagen und eigenen Untersuchungsergebnissen, aufgezeigt. Durch zahlreiche Abbildungen und tabellarische Ubersichten, ein ausfuhrliches Stichwortregister und ein Verzeichnis weiterfuhrender, zitierter Literatur erlaubt das Buch ausserdem einen raschen Zugriff auf relevante Informationen. Damit ist es nicht nur fur den operativ tatigen Arzt eine Hilfestellung, sondern fur jeden Ophthalmologen informativ.

In den einzelnen Kapiteln des Buches werden systematisch Grundlagen zu viskoelastischen Substanzen vermittelt, neue eigene Messergebnisse ihrer rheologischen Eigenschaften dargestellt und die sich daraus ergebenden Anwendungsmoglichkeiten in der Ophthalmochirugie aufgezeigt. Dabei wurde besonderen Wert gelegt auf eine praxisrelevante, anschauliche und verstandliche Darstellung physikochemischer Eigenschaften der Viskoelastika, um eine kritische Auswahl und gezielte Anwendung der Substanzen zu ermoglichen. Ein ausfuhrlicher spezieller Teil ist auf die breitgefacherten Einsatzmoglichkeiten und auf aktuelle Trends der Viskochirurgie fokussiert. Durch Viskoelastika bedingte Komplikationen und Absaugtechniken werden ebenso vermittelt wie Kenntnisse zur Herstellung der Substanzen. Zahlreiche Abbildungen und tabellarische Ubersichten, ein Stichwortregister und weiterfuhrende Literatur erlauben einen raschen Zugriff auf relevante Information.

Die Untersuchung der Augenmotilitat kann einerseits eine Parese, andererseits aber auch Anomalien im Ablauf der Blickbewegungen aufdecken. Diese letzteren geschehen durch sakkadische Augenbewegungen, deren exakte Erfassung und Analyse mittels okulographischer Methoden moglich ist. Erst diese exakt reproduzierbaren, registrierbaren und quantifizierbaren Techniken erlauben einen wissenschaftlich fundierten Einsatz in der neuroophthalmologischen Diagnostik. Das Buch vermittelt dem Neurologen und Ophthalmologen umfassende Informationen uber den Wert der Methode, ist aber auch eine exakte Anleitung zur praktischen Durchfuhrung der Untersuchung.

Ein weiteres Standardwerk aus der Kirschnerschen Operationslehre In dieser Neuauflage wird dem Bereich der Nasennebenh-hlen und der angrenzendenSch{delbasis endlich ein eigener Band einger{umt.
