Description
Eleven contributions by leading researchers analyze from an interdisciplinary perspective the functioning and performance of visual and motor systems. Among the questions discussed are the detection of visual signals against uniform backgrounds and the problem of the structure of filter mechanisms that extract as much signal energy as possible and the coordination of motor activities executed under the control of appropriately preprocessed sensory data.
