| Summary |
"The last few decades have brought fascinating changes in the way that we think abut 'colour' and the role 'colour' plays in our perceptual architecture. In Colour perception: Mind and the physical world, leading scholars from cognitive psychology, philosophy, neurophysiology, and computational vision provide an overview of the contemporary developments in our understanding of colours and of the relationship between the 'mental' and the 'physical'. With each chapter followed by critical commentaries, the volume presents a lively and accessible picture of the intellectual traditions that have shaped research into colour perception." "Written in a non-technical style and accessible to an interdisciplinary audience, the book will provide an invaluable resource for researchers in colour perception and the cognitive sciences."--BOOK JACKET |
