Description

This textbook on vision reflects the integrated computational approach of modern research scientists. This interdisciplinary approach, called "vision science" integrates psychological, computational and neuroscientific perspectives. The book covers all major topics related to vision, from early neural processing of image structure in the retina to high-level visual attention, memory, imagery and awareness. The presentation throughout requires minimal knowledge of mathematics.
