A very good copy of the first hard cover edition, lacking a dust-jacket (no doubt as issued). Save for a previous owner's name printed modestly in ink on the front endpaper the text is wholly unmarked, pristine. Binding bright and fresh in appearance, with some unobtrusive rubbing at the corners. A handsome copy of the increasingly hard-to-find hard cover edition.

About this title

Synopsis

Professor Colin Blakemore presents a fascinating insight to all the major topics in visual science research. Experts from around the world show how this vast subject can be unified from the viewpoint that describes the way in which visual systems efficiently encode and represent the outside world. The approach, which is both rigorous and general, was championed by H. B. Barlow in the fifties and has recently acquired a new significance in the light of exciting developments in computer science and artificial intelligence and vision. The book is essential reading for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in the field of vision research and neuroscience.
