Fine Art and Perceptual Neuroscience: Field of Vision and the Painted Grid

By Paul Hackett

Through the production of fine art, which is directly informed by neuroscientific and optical processes, this volume aims to fill a gap in the literature and understanding of the creation and perception of the grid image created as a work of art. Existing at the intersection of perceptual neuroscience, psychology, fine art and art history, it concerns the act of painting and the process of looking. More specifically, the book examines vision and the effects of visual impairment and how these can be interpreted through painting within a theoretical framework of visual neuroscience.
