OVERVIEW: In this lecture we discuss how the visual system enriches perception by adding the dimensions of depth, color, and motion to the canvas of visual information. This lecture will bring more psycho in our treatment of psychobiology and, although we will not be able to be as definitive in assigning specific neural networks, we will connect perceptions to the kinds of information processing which neurons can accomplish. Artists are perhaps the most astute viewers of the visual world. In the final part of the lecture we look a visual illusion and how artists recognize and take account of visual information processing in their works.
