Opis

More than one third of the human brain is devoted to the processes of seeing--vision is after all the main way in which we gather information about the world. This book is unique in focusing on vision as an "active" process. It goes beyond most accounts of vision where the focus is on seeing, to provide an integrated account of seeing and looking. Written by two leading vision scientists, this book will be valuable for vision researchers and psychology students.

Recenzje

. . . Findlay and Gilchrist deliver a book that will function as a good map to any diver looking for hidden treasures in the field of eye movements, search, and attention. This map shows where the different groups of divers are located relative to each other, their working techniques, their goals. All of this is done without overwhelming beginner divers or putting experienced divers to sleep. Now, it is up to the divers themselves to make good use of the book and keep swimming away. Who knows, it might help us find the hidden treasure. If it does indeed exist at all! Perception, 33/8
