Cognitive processes in eye guidance

An important new book, bringing together leading vision scientists to explore the eye movement mechanisms that allow us to read, drive, and negotiate the world around us. It examines the role of eye movements in a broad range of activities, providing valuable information for anyone working in the field of human cognition. Shows how a better understanding of eye movement mechanisms can tell us much about the processes involved in the performance of activities such as reading.
