Mirrors in Mind

Written by a leading researcher into perception, a central area in current work on the brain and mind, this book looks at mirrors as fascinating objects in themselves, for what they can show about vision, and as a metaphor for the perception and understanding of the "real" world.

Our senses bring us all the information we have about the outside world, but do they tell the truth? If you've never questioned this before you may be about to. Take a stroll round the fertile garden of famous scientist Richard Gregory's mind. You will be led, through a series of whimsical tales and amusing anecdotes, to a personal vista of some of the most profound and puzzling questions in science today. Almost without realising you will be drawn into the debate on Hamlet's feelings, Schrodinger's cat, thinking machines and much more. You may be charmed, entertained, amused or confused but you will always be left pondering.

Even Odder Perceptions

Routledge

Richard Gregory is one of the best known scientific personalities of our time. Here he not only presents essays on the rich subject of perception but shows how much we can learn, for example, from our surroundings and our language.

Odd Perceptions (Neuropsychology)

Routledge& Kegan Paul

Since the publication of the first edition in 1966, Eye and Brain has established itself worldwide as an essential introduction to the basic phenomena of visual perception. In this book, Richard L. Gregory offers clear explanations of how we see brightness, movement, color, and objects, and he explores the phenomena of visual illusions to establish principles about how perception normally works and why it sometimes fails. Although successive editions have incorporated new discoveries and ideas, Gregory completely revised and updated the book for this publication, adding more than thirty new illustrations. The phenomena of illusion continue to be a major theme in the book, in which the author makes a new attempt to provide a comprehensive classification system. There are also new sections on what babies see and how they learn to see, on motion perception, and tantalizing glimpses of the relationship between vision and consciousness and of the impact of new brain imaging techniques. In addition, the presentation of the text and illustrations has been improved by the larger format and new page design. The thousands of readers of the previous editions of Eye and Brain will find this new revised edition even more attractive and enthralling.
