Art and Perception. Towards a Visual Science of Art, Part 1
Biographical note
Baingio Pinna, Ph.D. (1993) in Experimental Psychology, University of Padua, Italy, is Professor of Psychology and Perceptual Psychology at University of Sassari, Italy. He has published extensively on visual psychophysics and discovered several new visual illusions (Revolving Wheels, Watercolor, Discoloration, Flashing Color Contrast, etc.).
Readership
All those interested in vision science, visual neuroscience, psychology, ophthalmology, cognitive science, computer science, neural networks, phenomenology, philosophy, visual arts, psychology of art.

Color, Line and Space explores the role of color in spatial vision and represents a truly interdisciplinary approach to visual neuroscience. Several fascinating new phenomena are presented and focus on how color appearance depends on spatio-chromatic interactions.
