Visual Pattern Analyzers

"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 "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 "The technical focus on visual perception is excellently grounded; treatment is thorough and thoughtfully presented . . A volume in which content moves from adaptation to summation, covers uncertainty and identification, even when multiple dimensions are involved . . . . The publishers complement the work with fine printing and a superb binding." --Perceptual and Motor Skills "Graham's book will no doubt become a classic. . . .The book's intricate structure and meticulous organization, so impressive to those familiar with the material from other sources, gives it a distinct personality. . . .Grandly exhaustive, labor-intensive. . .it deserves recognition as a classic." --Contemporary Psychology "I found it immensely rewarding. . . .An essential book for established and budding gratingologists and, indeed, for anyone interested in early visual processes. Graham has provided not only a coherent and detailed account of the main thrust of visual psychophysics over the past twenty years, but also a broader framework into which to fit less developed psychophysical work." --Perception "A successful attempt to develop a formal, systematic structure around the considerable literature that has accumulated over the past 25 years. . . .The book is nothing if not thorough. . . .The presentation is clear, and the organization is excellent. . . .Graham's book will prove to be of great value as a source of information. . . .Because of its thoroughness and emphasis on methods and assumptions it will stand the test of time." --The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology "Much more than a review, it is an exceptionally thoughtful overview of the many nuances of the psychophysical decision-making process....We believe that this book is unique. No other text with which we are familiar explores the underpinnings and mechanisms of the detection process to nearly the extent that Graham has done....For anyone interested in visual detection, Graham's book is essential reading." --Stanley A. Klein and Christopher W. Tyler, Journal of Mathematical Psychology "Many psychologists and mathematical psychologists are already familiar with Norma Graham's 1989 treatise. This book is now available in a paperback version. . . . This volume is a 'must read' book for researchers in visual science."--Telegraphic Reviews
