Synopsis

This timely volume is the first comprehensive and integrated empirical, theoretical, historical, and methodological treatment of visual masking. The approach is psychobiological, relating perceptuo-cognitive phenomena to neurophysiological and neuroanatomical findings to present a coherent, lucid acocunt of both. The book includes a history of visual masking; descriptions of experimental methods and findings; discussions of the mechanisms and processes inferred from these findings, and the theories that have been proposed to account for them; and an examination of visual masking in the context of phylogenic and ontogenic development and purposive visual behavior observed in the natural environment.
