Zusatztext This volume shows not just that vision is the most advanced of any field of research in its coordination of phenomenal, mathematical and biological aspects but also that the study of illusions is a key part of that process. It is therefore a major contribution to one of the most intellectually fascinating and important areas of enquiry. - Informationen zum Autor Arthur Shapiro, PhD, is Professor of Psychology at American University, Washington, D.C. Dejan Todorovic, PhD, is Professor of Psychology at Belgrade University, Belgrade, Serbia. Klappentext Visual illusions are compelling phenomena that draw attention to the brain's capacity to construct our perceptual world. The Oxford Compendium of Visual Illusions is a collection of over one hundred chapters on visual illusions, written by the illusions' creators and vision scientists who have investigated mechanisms underlying their peculiarities.
