Description
The present volume was assembled in honor of Professor Alan Cowey FRS, and attempts to embrace his wide range of research interests in
visual neuroscience. It is divided into four sections.
The first contains a group of papers dealing with different fundamental aspects
of the visual system, including the control and monitoring of eye movements. The second is concerned with the functional organization
of cortical visual areas and their role in visual perception and visually guided action. The third addresses issues concerning color
and motion perception, along with broader questions of visual attention; and the effects of selective brain damage on these different
aspects of visual experience. The fourth and final section of the volume deals explicitly with questions relating to visual awareness,
with particular emphasis on 'blindsight', a topic on which Alan Cowey has worked extensively in recent years, both in humans and in monkeys.
