Fitting The Mind To The World - Adaptation And After-Effects In High-level Vision

Klappentext Fitting the Mind to the World explores the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt to its current visual environment. Leading vision researchers explore how visual experience alters the adult brain, fitting the mind to the world, and ensuring the efficient coding of sensory signals. They demonstrate how this plasticity affects every aspect of our visual experience, from the perception of movement and colour, to the perception of subtle, social and emotionalinformation in human faces. Zusammenfassung Explores the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt to its current visual environment. This work describes how visual experience alters the adult brain, fitting the mind to the world, and ensuring the efficient coding of sensory signals.
