Sinossi

This book looks at lower level visual processing, emphasizing psychophysical experiments which measure the detection and identification of near-threshold patterns and the mathematical models used to draw inferences from experimental results. Neurophysiological and psychophysical evidence is compared and contrasted, while introductory material on psychophysical methods, signal detection theory, and the mathematics of Fourier analysis ensure that the title is accessible to anyone interested in this field. Also included are lists of studies about analysers and parametric sensitivity on various pattern-vision dimensions.

Recensione

provides another signal service by compiling and reviewing an enormous amount of the relevant psychophysical literature from scores of laboratories (Karen K. De Valois, University of California at Berkeley, Trends in Neurosciences, December 1990, Vol.13, No.12)

The final chapter gives a comprehensive breakdown and listing of hundreds of parametric studies on visual analysers, and it is followed by an Appendix listing the 92 assumptions made throughout the book. Such rigour is one of the book's major attractions. (Nicholas J. Wade, University of Dundee, British Journal of Psychology, Volume 81 Part 4, November 1990)
