Consciousness And Knowledge Through Vision

". Professor Semir Zeki has pioneered in the analysis of parallel processing in the visual system: how the different components of our visual world - the color, movement, and form of a visual scene - are analyzed in different regions of the brain. In this delightful and highly readable book, Professor Zeki gives a personal accounting of his voyage of discovery and does so in the context of the major intellectual and philosophical issues that have confronted the study of vision historically. This book is ideal for the beginning student because it is so accessible, but it will also be read for profit by scholars in philosophy, psychology and in the neural sciences. It is at once a great read and an introduction to the modern neurological underpinnings of visual perception."
