Martha J. Farah is Professor of Psychology and Director of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania. She is a former Guggenheim Fellow and carries out research on higher cortical functions.
"This is an outstanding overview of an exciting frontier of
research on the mind. Farah has a gift for ingenious and original
syntheses of complicated research topics, which makes this book an
invaluable resource for anyone interested in how the brain lets us
see," Steven Pinker, Professor, MIT, and author of How the Mind
Works and Words and Rules
"Farah’s book gives a comprehensive account of the cognitive
neuroscience of vision, filtered through the judgment and enlivened
by the comments of one of its best-known contributors. An excellent
and lively survey to interest and inform both students and
researchers." Anne Treisman, Princeton University
