Items related to An Introduction to the Visual System
Synopsis
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.

Book Description
Tovée approaches vision as arising directly from the structure and organisation of the eye and brain, rather than a behaviour one step removed from it. This perspective, combined with the clarity of text, 50 new images and key point summaries, guides the student to a thorough understanding of visual perception.
Review
"All chapters are graphically supported with outstanding black-and-white and some informative color illustrations and charts. An enumerated summary of key points that promote a clearer subject understanding conclude each chapter."
J.N. Muzio, Choice
