Sensory information processing (1 July 1976 - 31 March 1977)

The student of human visual perception is often overwhelmed by the vast amount of data that has been accumulated from experiments performed within the last century or so. It is often difficult to understand why a certain experiment has been performed.Results from similar experiments sometimes seem to conflict. Further confusion results when the student encounters raging controversies, the resolution of which would seem to minimally advance our knowledge of how we see. The reason for all this trouble stems from the fact that s suitable superstructure providing organization and support of this accumulation of data does not exist, i.e. an adequate theory of perception is not in hand.
