Sinopsis

Although the mechanics of how the eye works are well understood, debate still exists as to how the complex machinery of the brain interprets the neural impulses supplied by the eye. The authors of this book take a step back and ask, 'What is the function of vision?' in an attempt to understand its evolutionary origins and how these origins have shaped the organization of the human visual system. The main thesis of the book is that the neural machinery mediating our visual experience of the world is quite distinct from that mediating the visual control of motor behaviour. Topics covered range from the organization of visual pathways in the monkey to the role of consciousness in visual processing. Considerable attention is given to interpreting the visual defects seen in neurological patients with damage to different parts of the visual systems. The book will appeal to students, researchers, and practitioners in a number of different disciplines interested in vision and visual problems.

Cr�ticas

"The book is well written, with very few printing errors and clear language . . . It is never banal and is pleasant to read. Indeed, this volume makes a good case against the stereotype view that science books are tedious and pedestrian. Avoiding the quagmires of cheap popularisation, the authors succeed in conveying the excitement of their discoveries and sharing their joy in discussing science with readers. . . . The tone of the authors is sometimes provocative . . . sometimes assertive . . . often captivating, and never prosaic. . . . This book is worth reading, not only for its high scientific content, but also because it teaches us something beyond theories of visual recognition. Milner and Goodale's enterprise is an excellent example of very good science, which does not cost a fortune, springs from serendipity, is based on single-case observations, and is not bothered with immediate pragmatic outcomes."--Neuropsychological Rehabilitation "The book is well written, with very few printing errors and clear language . . .
