The Mirror, The Window, And The Telescope : How Renaissance Linear Perspective Changed Our Vision Of The Universe

The Vision Revolution : How The Latest Research Overturns Everything We Thought We Knew About Human Vision

  • The Vision Revolution : How The Latest Research Overturns Everything We Thought We Knew About Human Vision
  • Attribution

    Mark Changizi
  • Publication Details

    Book, Benbella Books, 2009
  • Description

    Primates evolved binocular vision (both eyes facing forward) so that they can see in three dimensions, critical as they jumped from branch to branch. The Vision Revolution answers these questions, and proves, with the detailed results of Changizi’s fieldwork, that the answers are very different than traditionally believed.

Image And Brain : The Resolution Of The Imagery Debate

3D Shape : Its Unique Place In Visual Perception

  • 3D Shape : Its Unique Place In Visual Perception
  • Attribution

    Zygmunt Pizlo
  • Publication Details

    Book, MIT Press, 2008
  • Description

    Pizlo argues that once shape is understood to be unique among visual attributes and the perceptual mechanisms underlying shape are seen to be different from other perceptual mechanisms, the research on shape becomes coherent and experimental findings no longer seem to contradict each other. A single theory of shape perception is thus possible, and Pizlo offers a theoretical treatment that explains how a three-dimensional shape percept is produced from a two-dimensional retinal image, assuming only that the image has been organized into two-dimensional shapes.

    Wolfgang Metzger ; translated by Lothar Spillmann … [et al.]
  • Publication Details

    Book, MIT Press, 2006
  • Description

    This classic work in vision science, written by a leading figure in Germany’s Gestalt movement in psychology and first published in 1936, addresses topics that remain of major interest to vision researchers today. Today’s researchers may find themselves pondering the intriguing question of what effect Metzger’s theories might have had on vision research if Laws of Seeing and its treasure trove of perceptual observations had been available to the English-speaking world at the time of its writing.

    Robert L. Solso

    How did the human brain evolve so that consciousness of art could develop?
