In this clear and engagingly written book, Martha Farah presents
the first comprehensive overview of the cognitive neuroscience of
vision.
Beginning with the transformation of light images into neural
images within the eye, Farah traces the processing of the visual
signal throughout the brain, culminating in our conscious awareness
of the objects and people we see. The perception of colour, motion,
faces, printed words, and other important components of our visual
world are explained, along with the related cognitive processes of
visual attention and visual mental imagery.
Each chapter brings together a fascinating array of clinical
anecdotes and observations, data from physiological experiments,
and the latest neuroimaging studies of the normal brain at work.
The unprecedented integration of the different stages of visual
perception and the different approaches to these stages will be of
value to students and specialists alike.
