Eloquent Images: Word and Image in the Age of New Media
The emergence of New Media has stimulated debate about the power of the visual to dethrone the cultural prominence of textuality and print. Some scholars celebrate the proliferation of digital images, arguing that it suggests a return to a pictorial age when knowledge was communicated through images as well as through words. Others argue that the inherent conflict between texts and images creat…

The First Half Second: The Microgenesis and Temporal Dynamics of Unconscious …
Recent advances in the study of visual cognition and consciousness have dealt primarily with steady-state properties of visual processing, with little attention to its dynamic aspects. The First Half Second brings together for the first time the latest research on the dynamics of conscious and unconscious processing of visual information, examining the time-course of visual processes from the m…

Perception beyond Inference: The Information Content of Visual Processes
Proposing a new paradigm for perceptual science that goes beyond standard information theory and digital computation. This book breaks with the conventional model of perception that views vision as a mere inference to an objective reality on the basis of "inverse optics." The authors offer the alternative view that perception is an expressive and awareness-generating process. Perception creates…

High-level vision : object recognition and visual cognition
"A Bradford book."In this book, Shimon Ullman focuses on the processes of high-level vision that deal with the interpretation and use of what is seen in the image. In particular, he examines two major problems. The first, object recognition and classification, involves recognizing objects despite large variations in appearance caused by changes in viewing position, illumination, occlusion, and …

Visual Cortex and Deep Networks: Learning Invariant Representations
A mathematical framework that describes learning of invariant representations in the ventral stream, offering both theoretical development and applications.The ventral visual stream is believed to underlie object recognition in primates. Over the past fifty years, researchers have developed a series of quantitative models that are increasingly faithful to the biological architecture. Recently, …

Image and brain : the resolution of the imagery debate
"A Bradford book."Kosslyn (psychology, Harvard U.) presents a 20-year research program on the nature of high-level vision and mental imagery -- offering his research as a definitive resolution of the long-standing "imagery debate," which centers on the nature of the internal representation of visual mental imagery. He combines insights and empirical results from computer vision, neurobiology, a…
