Fitting the mind to the world : adaptation and after-effects in high-level vision /

This text explores the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt to its current visual environment. It demonstrates how plasticity affects every aspect of visual experience, from the perception of movement and colour, to the perception of subtle, social and emotional information in human faces.
