How We See What We See

📕 Pattern recognition and freaks of fashions, the perception of colour and the structure of the visual tract, optical illusions and the shaping of the mental model of the world are some of the topics discussed in this fascinating and enlightening account of the extremely important frontiers of neurophysiology and psychology, cybernetics and medicine. The author (a journalist and an engineer) visited many laboratories and even participated in the experiments — that is why he is so successful in conveying the atmosphere of scientific search and adventure. The book will appeal to the general reader and non-specialist researcher.
