Visual perception

Why do we think the sky is blue? What advantage do two eyes give us? What do eye movements reveal about perception? Do dogs really see in black and white? Why do Asians seem similar to each other? Do we look like that to them? The book Visual Perception describes how we learn about the world around us through our eyes, shows the surprising complexity of the perception process, and helps us understand the role of visual perception in human life. It provides the reader with an encyclopedic knowledge of the main areas of the field and introduces the results of key research. At the same time, it also gives him the opportunity to look at the selected issues in a broader interdisciplinary context and illustrates the information presented with examples from everyday experience. This book, which is the first comprehensive work on the Czech book market devoted to this extensive topic, is intended for students and experts from various disciplines for whom knowledge of the peculiarities of human perception is a necessity, as well as for all those interested in the mysteries of human cognition.
