Treatise on Physiological Optics
Book • 2013
Hermann von Helmholtz's "Treatise on Physiological Optics" is a comprehensive work on the physics and physiology of vision.
It details the workings of the eye and the visual system, including the processes of image formation, color perception, and depth perception.
Helmholtz's work significantly advanced the understanding of visual perception and introduced the concept of unconscious inference, a precursor to modern predictive processing theories.
He argued that perception is not a passive reception of sensory data but an active process of interpretation and inference.
His contributions remain highly influential in the fields of vision science and cognitive psychology.
