Download or read book Cortical Mechanisms of Vision written by Michael Jenkin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-09 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of sensors capable of localizing portions of the brain involved in specific computations has provided significant insights into normal visual information processing and specific neurological conditions. Aided by devices such as fMRI, researchers are now able to construct highly detailed models of how the brain processes specific patterns of visual information. This book brings together some of the strongest thinkers in this field, to explore cortical visual information processing and its underlying mechanisms. It is an excellent resource for vision researchers with both biological and computational backgrounds, and is an essential guide for graduate students just starting out in the field.
