Consciousness is perhaps one of the greatest mysteries in the
universe. This ambitious book begins with a philosophical approach
to consciousness, examining some key questions such as what is
meant by the term "conscious," and how this applies to vision. The
book then explores major visual phenomena related to attention and
conscious experience-including filling-in processes, aftereffects,
multi-stability, forms of divided attention, models of visual
attention, priming effects, types of attentional blindness and
various visual disorders. For each phenomenon, the biological and
cognitive level research is reviewed. Themes touched upon
throughout are the relation between consciousness and attention,
automatic vs. willful processes, singularity vs. multiplicity, and
looking without seeing. The book concludes with an evolutionary
approach, describing possible functions that visual consciousness
may serve and how those may affect the way we see. The systematic
review of key topics and the multitude of perspectives make this
book an ideal primary or ancillary text for graduate courses in
perception, vision, consciousness, or philosophy of mind.
