Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theories of Color-Perception Objections to Young's Hypothesis on Physical ground8.-in the first place, the retina, in addition to its function as a receiving and transmitting organ, is made by this theory into a differentiating apparatus as well. This is rendered necessary because of Young's disbelief in the capacity of the retina to act as a receptacle for vibrations after the manner of simple bodies. There is something remarkable in a kind of hitch we some times find in the intellectual workings of even our greatest men. It has always been a wonder to scientists that Newton, with a mental power capable of originating so far-reaching a theory as the law of gravitation, should pass by the undulatory theory of Huygens as not capable of explain ing phenomena of light.'

Download or read book An Introduction to the Study of Colour Vision Classic Reprint written by John Herbert Parsons and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-19 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Colour Vision HE vast literature on colour vision consists almost entirely of papers written in support of some particular theory. It is peculiarly difficult to obtain a general and unbiassed view of the subject. I have here endeavoured to separate the best established facts of colour vision from the theories, and have then discussed the chief theories in the light of these facts. I wish to express my great indebtedness to Sir William Abney, Professor W. Watson, and Dr Myers for their invaluable assistance in a very difficult task, which demands a not inconsiderable knowledge of such diverse subjects as physics, physiology, and psychology. The chief references to the literature have been given in footnotes. The frequent references to Abney are to his Researches in Colour Vision (london, and to V. Helmholtz to his Hand buch der physiologischen Optik. In the latter case each of the three editions contains material which is absent from the others, and the exact reference is given in the footnote.

Download or read book Vision Science written by Stephen E. Palmer and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1999-04-14 with total page 833 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book revolutionizes how vision can be taught to undergraduate and graduate students in cognitive science, psychology, and optometry. It is the first comprehensive textbook on vision to reflect the integrated computational approach of modern research scientists. This new interdisciplinary approach, called "vision science," integrates psychological, computational, and neuroscientific perspectives. The book covers all major topics related to vision, from early neural processing of image structure in the retina to high-level visual attention, memory, imagery, and awareness. The presentation throughout is theoretically sophisticated yet requires minimal knowledge of mathematics. There is also an extensive glossary, as well as appendices on psychophysical methods, connectionist modeling, and color technology. The book will serve not only as a comprehensive textbook on vision, but also as a valuable reference for researchers in cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience, computer science, optometry, and philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory and Practice of Color Though living in a world of Color, and forced by the nature of all created things to the daily and hourly use of Color, the average man is densely ignorant of any laws or principles which will guide him in its intelligent use. He has been sailing in uncharted seas, and, as a result, he has often found himself upon the rocks of discordant and irritating Color combinations, in his home, in his dress and in his efforts to meet the demands of business advertising.

Download or read book The Ecological Approach To Visual Perception written by James J. Gibson and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about how we see: the environment around us (its surfaces, their layout, and their colors and textures); where we are in the environment; whether or not we are moving and, if we are, where we are going; what things are good for; how to do things (to thread a needle or drive an automobile); or why things look as they do. The basic assumption is that vision depends on the eye which is connected to the brain. The author suggests that natural vision depends on the eyes in the head on a body supported by the ground, the brain being only the central organ of a complete visual system. When no constraints are put on the visual system, people look around, walk up to something interesting and move around it so as to see it from all sides, and go from one vista to another. That is natural vision -- and what this book is about.
