Riassunto

This exciting new book presents a highly complex subject of vision, focussing on the visual information processing and computational operations in the visual system that lead to representations of objects in the brain. In addition to visual processing, it also considers how visual imputs reach and are involved in the computations underlying a wide range of behaviour, thus providing a foundation for understanding the operation of a number of different brain systems. This fascinating book will be of value to all those interested in understanding how the brain works, and in understanding vision, attention, memory, emotion, motivation and action.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Computational Neuroscience of Vision provides encouraging indications that the field itself is spawning a new form of neurobiologist in which experimentalist and theorist share the same brain. (Science, July 2002)

This book provides an outstanding illustration and defence of the computational approach to brain research. (Trends in Cognitive Sciences)

... useful to anyone who is interested in the underlying principles of visual processing, whether their interest in vision is from the computational, neurobiological, or psychological standpoint." (Perception 31/10)

L'autore:

Professor Edmund Rolls DSc is a major figure in the field of neuroscience. His books are usually controversial, but without exception, highly successful. Gustavo Deco is a lesser known scientist, though one with a reputation for high quality research, and unquestionably a future star in psychology/neuroscience
