Written by three authors with over eighty years of research and undergraduate teaching experience between them  the book leads students step by step through the various elements that come together in our perception of size  color  motion  and three-dimensional space.  It illustrates the intricacy of the visual system  discussing its development during infancy  and revealing how the brain can get it wrong  either as a result of brain damage  through which the network of processes become compromised  or through illusion  where the brain compensates for mixed messages by seeing what it thinks should be there  rather than conveying the reality.  The book also demonstrates the importance of contemporary techniques and methodology  and neuroscience-based techniques in particular  in driving forward our understanding of the visual system.
