دانلود کتاب The World in Your Head: A Gestalt View of the Mechanism of Conscious Experience

I started on the biological side of vision but my career has taken me firmly on the machine or computer vision side of the aisle (Plug, I just wrote an O'Reilly book on the topic: Learning OpenCV: Computer Vision with the OpenCV Library). But, I still love thinking and reading about brain science.

In this book Steve Lehar has combined Gestalt psychology and computational models of perception and learning into a whirl win tour of the brain. His scientific views are, um, probably a bit out there. You can accept them or not, but the real pleasure of this book come in where he marshals evidence to defend his views -- you get to go along for the ride on an extensive tour of the latest in experimental psychology, brain science and philosophy. It's a very enlightening, entertaining read, suitable also for people not in the field and, as a bonus, Steve is simply a great graphic artist -- the illustrations are worth the price of entry alone.
