How can we best describe the processes by which we visually
perceive our environment? Contemporary perceptual theory still
lacks a coherent theoretical position that encompasses both the
limitations on the information that can be retained from a single
eye fixation and the abundant phenomenal and behavioral evidence
for the perception of an extended and coherent world. As a result,
many leading theorists and researchers in visual perception are
turning with new or renewed interest to the work of Julian
Hochberg.
For over 50 years, in his own experimental research, in his
detailed consideration of examples drawn from a wide range of
visual experiences and activities, and most of all in his brilliant
and sophisticated theoretical analyses, Hochberg has persistently
engaged with the myriad problems inherent in working out the kind
of coherent theoretical position the field currently lacks. The
complexity of his thought and the wide range of areas into which
Hochberg has pursued the solution to this central problem have,
however, limited both the accessibility of his work and the
appreciation of his accomplishment.
In this volume we seek to bring the full range of Hochberg's work
to the attention of a wider audience by offering a selection of his
key works, many taken from out-of-print or relatively inaccessible
sources. To facilitate the understanding of his accomplishment, and
of what his work has to offer to contemporary researchers and
theorists in visual perception, we include commentaries on salient
aspects of his work by 20 noted researchers.
In the Mind's Eye will be of interest to researchers working on
topics such as perceptual organization, visual attention,
spaceperception, motion perception, visual cognition, the
relationship between perception and action, picture perception, and
film, who are striving to obtain a deeper understanding of their
own fields, and who want to integrate this understanding into a
broader, unified view of visual perceptual processing.
