Book Description
Since the publication of the first edition in 1966, Eye and Brain Fourth Edition has established itself worldwide as an essential introduction to the basic phenomena of visual perception. In this book, Richard L. Gregory offers clear explanations of how we see brightness, movement, color, and objects, and he explores the phenomena of visual illusions to establish principles about how perception normally works and why it sometimes fails. Although successive editions have incorporated new discoveries and ideas, Gregory completely revised and updated the book for this publication, adding more than thirty new illustrations. The phenomena of illusion continue to be a major theme in the book, in which the author makes a new attempt to provide a comprehensive classification system. There are also new sections on what babies see and how they learn to see, on motion perception, and tantalizing glimpses of the relationship between vision and consciousness and of the impact of new brain imaging techniques. In addition, the presentation of the text and illustrations has been improved by the larger format and new page design. The thousands of readers of the previous editions of Eye and Brain Fourth Edition will find this new revised edition even more attractive and enthralling.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“An excellent introduction to the psychology of vision. It presents what we know, what we don’t know, and what we think. Gregory accomplishes this in an astonishingly succinct and successful book.”
