The last few decades have brought fascinating changes in the way that we think about color and the role that color plays in our perceptual architecture. In Colour: Connecting the Mind to the Physical World, leading scholars from cognitive psychology, philosophy, neurophysiology, and computational vision provide an overview of the contemporary developments in our understanding of colors and of the relationship between the 'mental' and the 'physical'. With each chapter followed by critical commentaries, the volume presents a lively and accessible picture of the intellectual traditions which have shaped research into color perception.Features
