Description
This collection of papers by leading researchers in vision science deals with the role of color in spatial vision and the emergent spatio-chromatic properties within visual scenes.
Several fascinating phenomena are studied through psychophysical experiments and explained in terms of neural and computational models. Topics include: prior adaptation to blurry images, chromatic induction, the influence of color contrast on shape perception, Fechner-Benham subjective color, a novel filling-in effect - dynamic texture spreading, the watercolor illusion, and new illusions based on chromatic variations of the luminance profile across the boundaries.

Reviews / Votes
'This book should naturally prove of greatest interest to historians of colonial Central America and historians of missions, for whom it should prove quite useful, [...] even enlightening owing to its wealth of details, and its firm anchoring in primary sources. Historians of the Catholic Reformation, too, might want to dive into this rich collection...' Carlos M.N. Eire, Church History, 1999.More details

Person
Baingio Pinna, Ph.D. (1993) in Experimental Psychology, University of Padua, Italy, is Professor of Psychology and Perceptual Psychology at University of Sassari, Italy. He has published extensively on visual psychophysics and discovered several new visual illusions (Revolving Wheels, Watercolor, Discoloration, Flashing Color Contrast, etc.).
