The aim of this book, originally published in 1984, was to bring
together a number of approaches to this important topic.
Significant advances had been made in the two decades before
publication in our understanding of many aspects of the coding that
occurs along the visual pathways. The major developments had been
associated with probing the nature of "logical" processes, whether
physiologically or psychophysically, and relatively less attention
had been devoted to the problem of how such locally coded knowledge
is put together to yield coherent representations of spatially (and
temporally) extended patterns - that is, to figural synthesis.
Thus, while a great deal was known about the responses of
individual cells in the visual system to controlled stimulation,
and about the specificity of the orientational and
spatial-frequency tuning of channels assessed psychophysically,
there had been much less discussion of how such knowledge could be
brought to bear on the general problems of understanding pattern
recognition.
