Recenzje

The book ... provides a fascinating and invaluable survey of the origins of modern eye movement research. As the authors state, there are numerous histories of optics and ophthalmology, but only a very few about eye movements. ... The book reveals in an educational and also entertaining way many fascinating aspects, not only of ancient and modern eye measurement devices, but also of visual perceptual mechanisms and illusions, and the history of eye movement terminology.
