About this title

Synopsis

Brain damage can lead to selective problems with visual perception, including visual agnosia -- the inability to recognize objects even though elementary visual functions remain unimpaired. Visual Agnosia reviews all the recent records of this disorder, places these 100 or so case studies in the general context of current neuroscience, and draws relevant conclusions about the organization of normal visual processing.

"An excellent introduction to cognitive neuroscientific theorizing and en passant [the book] provides a helpful beginner's guide to computational models of distributed processing. . . . It should prove both interesting and accessible to a wide and multidisciplinary readership." -- Rosaleen A. McCarthy, Brain

"This is, literally, a wonderful book: filled with perceptions of things marvelous and (apparently) inexplicable. . . . Aside from the intrinsic interest of the subject matter, the book provides a case study of how cognitive neuroscientists can successfully go about their business." -- Austen Clark, Philosophical Psychology

"Essential reading for all those interested in disorders of object recognition. It is the most thorough review available." -- J. Davidoff, Perception
