Purves (neurobiology, Duke U.) and Lotto (ophthalmology, U. College London, UK) argue that the visual system in humans contends with the uncertainty of sensory information by generating perceptions in an empirical manner through trial-and-error interactions over time with a world that is otherwise hidden, that although people think they see the world as it is, they see a subjective world that is determined by associations made between images and behavior over the course of species and individual history. They explain the rationale for this way of understanding vision and how this theory works for each of the basic qualities of human visual perception: seeing lightness and brightness; color; intervals, angles, and object sizes; distance and depth; and motion.
