Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This is the paperback edition of an Oxford Psychology Series title that has sold 1000 cloth copies at $80 since 1989. Visual Pattern Analyzers consolidates and places within a logical framework current knowledge of lower level visual processing. Organized to help the reader find needed information quickly and easily, the book emphasizes psychophysical experiments which measure the models used to draw inferences from experimental results. Neurophysiological and psychophysical evidence is compared and contrasted, while introductiory material on psychophysical methods, signal detection theory, and the mathematics of Fourier analysis assure that the title is accessible to anyone interested in the field. Also included are lists of studies about analyzers and parametric sensitivity on various pattern-vision dimensions. This volume will be of great value to researchers and graduate students in the fields of vision and perception, as well as to investigators in many fields, including psychophysics, neuroscience, opthalmology, computer science, and cognitive and experimental psychology.
MoreLong description:
The visual system must extract from the light that falls on the retina meaningful information about what is where in our environment. At an early stage it analyzes the incoming sensory data along many dimensions of pattern vision, e.g. spatial frequency, orientation, velocity, eye-of-origin. Visual Pattern Analyzers provides a definitive account of current knowledge about this stage of visual processing. Nowhere else can such a comprehensive summarty of the lower level pattern analyzers be found. The book's emphasis is on psychophysical experiments measuiring the detection and identification of near-threshold patterns -- and the mathematical models, such as multidimensional signal-detection theory, used to draw inferences from such experimental results -- but neurophysiological evidence is presented and compared critically to the psychophysical evidence. Introductory material on psychophysical methods, signal detection theory, and the mathematics of Fourier analysis is gioven in order to make the book more accessible to all who are interested in the lower or higher levels of visual perception. This volume will be of great value to researchers and graduate students in the fields of vision and perception. Within the scientific community there is wide interest in the visual system, and the book will be of use to investigators in many fields, including psychophysics, neuroscience, ophthalmology and optics, computer science, and cognitive and experimental psychology.
"The author, a respected scholar in this field, has done an excellent job of organizing and summarizing a massive amount of data. This reviewer knows of no other work that has attempted such an exhaustive compilation of the studies in this field . . . .A clearly written and helpfully illustrated, but highly technical work." --Choice
