An Introduction to the Visual System, 2e
Building on the successful formula of the first edition, Martin Tovée
offers a concise but detailed account of how the visual system is
organised and functions to produce visual perception. He takes his
readers from first principles; the structure and function of the eye and
what happens when light enters, to how we see and process images,
recognise patterns and faces, and through to the most recent discoveries
in molecular genetics and brain imaging, and how they have uncovered a
host of new advances in our understanding of how visual information is
processed within the brain. Incorporating new material throughout,
including almost 50 new images, every chapter has been updated to
include the latest research, and culminates in helpful key points, which
summarise the lessons learnt. This book is an invaluable course text
for students within the fields of psychology, neuroscience, biology and
physiology.
