Central Processing of Visual Information A: Integrative Functions and Comparative Data

The present volume covers the physiology of the visual system beyond the optic nerve. It is a continuation of the two preceding parts on the phohemistry and the physiology of the eye, and forms a bridge from them to the fourth part on visual psychophysics. These fields have all developed as independent speciali­ ties and need integrating with each other.
