The phenomena of illusion continues to be a major theme in the book, which attempts to provide a comprehensive classification systems. There are also sections on what babies see and how they learn to see, on motion perceptions, and tanatalising glimpses of the relationship between vision and consciousness, and the impact of new brain imaging techniques.
