Dear Colleagues,
I wish to inform you about the recent publication of a book on vision.
This book gives an outline of recent and updated findings in visual sciences. Visual mechanisms and processes are analysed at several levels (molecular, cellular, integrative, and computational-cognitive) by different methodologies (from molecular biology to computation) applied to various living models (from invertebrates to vertebrates and humans).
For further informations, please contact me or link directly to the publisher’s web site http://www.wspc.com.sg/books/medsci/4725.html
