Perceptual Expertise: Bridging Brain and Behavior - Advances in Visual Cognition Gauthier, Isabel (Professor of Psychology, Professor of Psychology, Vanderbilt University)

This book presents a comprehensive survey of perceptual expertise in visual object recognition, and introduces a novel collaborative model, codified as the "Perceptual Expertise Network" (PEN). This unique group effort is focused on delineating the domain-general principles of high-level visual learning that can account for how different object categories are processed and come to be associated with spatially localized activity in the primate brain.
