Synopsis

Observer Mechanics presents the foundation of a general mathematical theory of perception and discusses related philosophical issues. The theory, which models perception as inductive inference, treats the subject/object relationship in a fundamentally nondualistic manner. Many concrete examples are considered. Key features of the book: It proposes a general theory of perception that is formal yet empirically grounded - the theory allows a unified treatment of perceptual capacities as diverse as stereovision and sentence parsing - the theory suggests a new formulation of relationship between mind and body - the theory indicates a bridge between the psychology of perception and the quantum theory of measurement.
