Riassunto
With no effort we can scan a scene by directing our attention and gaze at specific objects, discerning them despite the background of other objects, contours, shadows, and changes in illumination. How all this can be done is discussed in this volume, which is devoted to early vision and attention, that is, to the first stages of visual information processing.
