As the first entry in a three-volume series, it focuses exclusively on the sensory and physiological "building blocks" of depth perception, moving from historical discovery to the latest in neural plasticity.
The book outlines the precise behavioral and analytic procedures used to measure how subjects respond to visual stimuli, establishing the rigorous scientific standard for modern depth research. The Biological Machinery of Vision Perceiving in Depth Volume 1 Basic Mechanisms
The text follows the visual signal from the eye through the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN) to the visual cortex. It pays specific attention to the columnar organization of the cortex, which is specialized for depth-related processing. As the first entry in a three-volume series,
