"...this book would be excellent reading for anyone interested in understanding of the mental functioning in terms of brain structure and the mechanisms that perform certain operations." Roeper Review
"During the 1970s, great strides were made in our understanding of the brain functions necessary for visual form perception. Much of this work was done in English-speaking countries and was, therefore, readily accessible to the Western scientific community. One exception was the research undertaken by Vadim Glezer and his colleagues in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). Most of those studies were reported in Russian, but gradually some of us began to be acquainted with them. At first, it seemed that the Russian work simply paralleled that performed elsewhere; that, in itself, would have been sufficient reason for translating this work, because it would show that experimenters from different backgrounds were obtaining the same results. However, it turned out that this work represented a much richer vein of data and interpretation that had become available for mining.
Glezer's laboratory contributions are fresh and his interpretations of the brain's harmonic analysis of form vision add considerably to our understanding. The English-speaking community should, therefore, welcome this solid contribution to our understanding of the visual process as it relates to the brain, on the one hand, and to cognition, on the other."
