Progress in Brain Research, Volume 155: Visual Perception, Part 2: Fundamentals of Awareness, Multi-Sensory Integration and High-Order Perception

by Susana Martinez-Conde (Editor)

This book presents a collection of articles reflecting state-of-the-art research in visual perception, specifically concentrating on neural correlates of perception. Each section addresses one of the main topics in vision research today. Part 2: Fundamentals of Awareness, Multi-Sensory Integration and High-Order Perception covers topics from filling-in to visual awareness to crossmodal interactions. A variety of methodological approaches are represented, including single-neuron recordings, fMRI and optical imaging, psychophysics, eye movement characterization and computational modelling. The contributions will provide the reader with a valuable perspective on the current status of vision research, and more importantly, with critical insight into future research directions and the discoveries yet to come.


· Provides a detailed breakdown of the neural and psychophysical bases of Perception
· Presents never-before-published original discoveries
