<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>With the original release of <i>Vision and Art</i> in 2002, Harvard professor Margaret Livingstone successfully bridged the gap between science and art, exploring how great painters fool the brain: why Mona Lisa's smile seems so mysterious, or Monet's <i>Poppy Field</i> appears to sway. In the revised and expanded edition, Livingstone presents two new chapters of her latest observations, has substantially expanded other chapters, and updates the rest of the existing text with new insights gleaned from her ongoing research, bringing the book to the cutting edge in the field of neuroscience. Accompanying Livingstone's lively prose are many charts and diagrams that lucidly illustrate her points, as well as in-depth analyses of the phenomena found in major works of art. Be it the explanation of common optical illusions or the breakdown of techniques painters use to create those illusions, <i>Vision and Art</i> provides a wealth of information for artists, scholars, and scientists alike.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Margaret Livingstone</b> is a professor of neurobiology at Harvard Medical School. She has published numerous scholarly articles about vision. She lives in Brookline, Massachusetts. <b>David Hubel</b> is a professor of neurobiology at Harvard Medical School and shared the 1981 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
