Excerpt

The ability to achieve object constancy under dynamic environmental conditions perhaps reaches its apogee in the primate visual system. The remainder of this chapter will focus on the neural and perceptual mechanisms of visual object perception in human and non-human primate brains, with an emphasis on the role of attention in the designation of visual objects that have particular relevance for reward-based behavior.
