Hardcover. BW-photographic and red boards. Clear plastic and black dust jacket. 216 pp. BW and color illustrations. Exhibition held at Yale University Art Gallery, October 7, 2008 through January 4, 2009. "Many photographers have been intrigued with the baffling distortionsboth subtle and disquietingthat can occur when the camera "captures" the real world. Not always intentional, some images dazzle with impossible juxtapositions or disorienting spatial orders, while others confound the viewer's belief in the documentary promise of photography. Drawn from the highly respected collection of Allan Chasanoff, the photographs in this intriguing volume confront viewers with the challenge of doubt and confusion in so-called "straight" pictures. Featured are perceptually provocative images by Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Clarence John Laughlin, Imogen Cunningham, and Lee Friedlander, among others. The book's essays raise awareness of the interpretive nature of the lens and the interpolative nature of the medium."--Publisher description.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is of great interest to those in the realms of science, especially neuroscience, as it challenges the conventional view of receptive fields. It presents a novel model for studying receptive field structure through mathematical analysis. By exploring the relationship between visual information and the mechanisms within the visual system, the author argues that the structure of receptive fields provides a foundation for understanding how the visual system represents and processes visual information. Through a series of experiments, the author makes a convincing case that the structure of receptive fields is closely linked to the way the visual system encodes and decodes visual information. This idea significantly advances our understanding of how we see and interact with the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
