The Lambda XL is a broad spectrum, highly stable light source (±1% peak-to-peak fl uctuations) with an expected lamp life of 10,000 hours. The light intensity can be adjusted to different levels of attenuation and the liquid light guide connection assures output uniformity in the fi eld of view.

FEATURES

Lambda XL

Blind VisionThe Neuroscience of Visual Impairment

Zaira Cattaneo and Tomaso Vecchi

“Blind Vision is an interesting and timely book on the impact of blindness on imag-ery, and the insights we might get about imagery and vision from studying the blind. It will appeal to a broad reader-ship from neuro-ophthalmologists and neurologists to experts in rehabilitation, mobility, and education of the blind, and from visual cognitive neuroscientists to philosophers.”

— Alvaro Pascual-Leone, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School

288 pp., 4 color illus., 22 b&w illus., $36 cloth

A Computational Perspective on Visual AttentionJohn K. Tsotsos

The derivation, exposition, and justifica-tion of the Selective Tuning model of vision and attention.

The MIT Press

Cerebral PlasticityNew Perspectives

edited by Leo M. Chalupa, Nicoletta Berardi, Matteo Caleo, Lucia Galli-Resta, and Tommaso Pizzorusso

A survey of the latest research, cover-ing such topics as plasticity in the adult brain and the underlying mechanisms of plasticity.

432 pp., 13 color plates, 77 b&w illus., $60 cloth

Statistical Analysis of fMRI DataF. Gregory Ashby

“Understanding the complexities associ-ated with the generation of brain function images is essential, but this information is often difficult to obtain. This lovely new book by Ashby is a major step in meeting that need. I recommend it with enthusi-asm to new initiates to imaging as well as seasoned veterans.”
