Visual science is the model system for neuroscience, its findings                  relevant to all other areas. This massive collection of papers by leading                  researchers in the field will become an essential reference for researchers and                  students in visual neuroscience, and will be of importance to researchers and                  professionals in other disciplines, including molecular and cellular biology,                  cognitive science, ophthalmology, psychology, computer science, optometry, and                  education.Over 100 chapters cover the entire field of visual neuroscience, from its                  historical foundations to the latest research and findings in molecular mechanisms                  and network modeling. The book is organized by topic--different sections cover such                  subjects as the history of vision science; developmental processes; retinal                  mechanisms and processes; organization of visual pathways; subcortical processing;                  processing in the primary visual cortex; detection and sampling; brightness and                  color; form, shape,and object recognition; motion, depth, and spatial relationships;                  eye movements; attention and cognition; and theoretical and computational                  perspectives. The list of contributors includes leading international researchers in                  visual science.
