This book investigates the complex interplay between human visual perception and the emerging field of electronic imaging. It explores how our understanding of the human visual system informs the design and interpretation of electronic imaging technologies, and conversely, how these technologies can be used to study vision. The work draws on research from psychophysics, neuroscience, and computer science to bridge the gap between biological and artificial vision.

The book is likely to be regarded as a foundational text for researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of vision science and electronic imaging. Its interdisciplinary approach suggests it would appeal to a specialized audience seeking to understand the biological underpinnings of visual technology. The content points to a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in the mid-1990s, offering valuable historical context and technical insights.
