Description
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.
Audience
Researchers in vision science and neuroscience.

II. From Perceptive Fields to Gestalt. A Tribute
to Lothar Spillman.
From perceptive fields to Gestalt.
In honour of Lothar Spillmann - filling in, wiggly lines, adaptation adn aftereffects.
Lightness-filling-in, and the fundamental role of context in visual perception.
