Dynamic Neural Field Theory for Motion Perception

This text provides provides a theoretical framework that permits a systematic analysis of the dynamic properties of motion perception. The framework uses dynamic neural fields as a key mathematical concept. The author demonstrates how neural fields can be applied for the analysis of perceptual phenomena and its underlying neural processes. Also, similar principles form a basis for the design of computer vision systems as well as the design of artificially behaving systems. The book discusses in detail the application of this theoretical approach to motion perception and should be of interest to researchers in vision science, psychophusics, and biological visual systems.
