Description
This book is a compilation of research papers on the subject of vision and action. The papers cover a variety of topics, such as how the eyes and head help interpret movement, how the brain processes visual information, and how different actions are interpreted. This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in the field of vision and action, as well as anyone interested in sensory or motor processes.
The visual processes involved in moving, reaching, grasping, and playing sports are complex interactions. For example, the action of moving the head provides useful cues to help interpret the visual information. Simultaneously, vision can provide important information about the actions and their control. This becomes a reiterative process. This process, and the interactions between vision and action, are the foci of this volume. This book contains contributions from scientists who are leaders in each of the several facets of the subject. Examples of the types of action considered vary from moving the eyes and head and body, as in looking around or walking, to complex actions such as driving a car, catching a ball, or playing table tennis. Graduate students and researchers in vision science, as well as physiologists and neuroscientists interested in any aspect of sensory or motor processes, will find this a useful and broad-ranging book.
