Perspectives on perception

For me, perception is an immediate-in-every-moment expression of our closeness with our worlds. But perception can also be characterized in the complete opposite way, "the mind at work in the gap" (Schwettmann). Here we cover various approaches to perception. This page will inevitably be continually under construction. Happy to include your suggestions.

Perspectives so far, and some representative authors:

• Phenomenology (Albertazzi, Koenderink, van Doorn, Merleau-Ponty)
• Information processing (Marr, Cox&DiCarlo)
• Ecological perception (Gibson)
• Efficient coding (Barlow)
• Psychophysical complentarity (Shepard)
• Umwelt (von Uexkull)
• Shunyata (Mahayana Buddhism, Nagarjuna)
• Bayesian inference (Kersten - pattern inference theory)
• Light Dance (Riskin)
