About the Author

Professor Edmund Rolls DSc is a major figure in the field of neuroscience. His books are usually controversial, but without exception, highly successful. Gustavo Deco is a lesser known scientist, though one with a reputation for high quality research, and unquestionably a future star in psychology/neuroscience

Reviews

Computational Neuroscience of Vision provides encouraging indications that the field itself is spawning a new form of neurobiologist in which experimentalist and theorist share the same brain. Science, July 2002 This book provides an outstanding illustration and defence of the computational approach to brain research. Trends in Cognitive Sciences ... useful to anyone who is interested in the underlying principles of visual processing, whether their interest in vision is from the computational, neurobiological, or psychological standpoint."
