Contents:

Pt. 1. The Physiological Basis of Visual Perception -- Ch. 1. Light and Eyes -- Ch. 2. The Neurophysiology of the Retina -- Ch. 3. Visual Pathways in the Brain -- Pt. 2. Vision for Awareness -- Ch. 4. Approaches to the Psychology of Visual Perception -- Ch. 5. Images, Filters, and Features: The Primal Sketch -- Ch. 6. Perceptual Organisation -- Ch. 7. Seeing a 3-D world -- Ch. 8. The Computation of Image Motion -- Ch. 9. Object Recognition -- Pt. 3. Vision for Action -- Ch. 10. Introduction to the Ecological Approach to Visual Perception -- Ch. 11. Optic Flow and Locomotion -- Ch. 12. Vision and the Timing of Actions -- Ch. 13. Perception of the Social World -- Pt. 4. Conclusions -- Ch. 14. Contrasting Theories of Visual Perception -- Appendix: On-line Resources for Perception and Vision Science.

Summary: This comprehensively updated and expanded revision of the successful second edition continues to provide detailed coverage of the ever-growing range of research topics in vision. In Part I, the treatment of visual physiology has been extensively revised with an updated account of retinal processing, a new section explaining the principles of spatial and temporal filtering which underlie discussions in later chapters, and an up-to-date account of the primate visual pathway. Part II contains four largely new chapters which cover recent psychophysical evidence and computational model of early vision: edge detection, perceptual grouping, depth perception, and motion perception. The models discussed are extensively integrated with physiological evidence. All other chapters in Parts II, III, and IV have also been thoroughly updated.
