The human brain is not a passive organ simply waiting to be activated by external stimuli.
Instead, we propose that the brain continuously employs memory of past experiences to …

Some fundamental principles of colour vision, deduced from perceptual studies, have been
understood for a long time. Physiological studies have confirmed the existence of three …

Primary and secondary visual cortex (V1 and V2) form the foundation of the cortical visual
system. V1 transforms information received from the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and …

Visual processing deficits are an integral component of schizophrenia and are sensitive
predictors of schizophrenic decompensation in healthy adults. The primate visual system …

Light Vision Color takes a well-balanced, interdisciplinary approach to our most important
sensory system. The book successfully combines basics in vision sciences with recent …

Area V5 of the visual brain, first identified anatomically in 1969 as a separate visual area, is
critical for the perception of visual motion. As one of the most intensively studied parts of the …

Whether motion vision uses color contrast is a controversial issue that has been investigated
in several species, from insects to humans. We used Drosophila to answer this question …

Evidence exists implicating abnormal visual information processing and visually driven
attention in a number of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, suggesting that …

Multiplexing refers to the simultaneous encoding of two or more signals. Neurons have been
shown to multiplex, but different stimuli require different multiplexing strategies. Whereas the …

Whether the visual brain uses a parallel or a serial, hierarchical, strategy to process visual
signals, the end result appears to be that different attributes of the visual scene are …
