Does the world appear the same to everyone? Does what we know
determine what we see? Why do we see the world as we do? Vision is
our most dominant sense. From the light that enters our eyes to the
complex cognitive processes that follow, we derive most of our
information about what things are, where they are, and how they
move from our vision. Visual Perception takes a refreshingly
different approach to this enigmatic sense. From the function that
vision serves for an active observer, to the history of visual
perception itself the third edition has been extensively revised,
updated and expanded, while still preserving the essential features
of historical context, neurophysiology and independent thought that
made the earlier editions so engaging. Covering the perception of
location, motion, object recognition and with up-to-date
information on the workings of the visual brain, the 3rd edition
looks at how our ideas have been shaped, not just by psychology,
but by art, optics, biology and philosophy. The emphasis on
understanding vision as a basis for action in the real world has
also been expanded to cover seeing representations of all sorts,
whether they are pictures or computer-generated displays. The 3rd
Edition of Visual Perception is a readable, accessible and truly
relevant introduction to the world of perception and will be
welcomed by students of visual perception as well as anyone with a
general interest in the mysteries and wonder of vision.
