Visual Perception: A Clinical OrientationProvides a solid foundation for courses in visual perception. Featuring hundreds of drawings and photos, it covers the mechanisms and assessment of visual perception for ophthalmologic clinicians and psychologists, in reader-friendly fashion. The book treats all topics relevant to monocular visual perception--visual development, color vision, retinal and cortical physiology and more. Also included are chapters on adaptation, photometry, spatial and temporal vision, motion perception, psychophysical and electrophysiological methodology, and higher-order cortical processing. |
