Looking and Acting

Looking and Acting: vision in natural behaviour is the new book by Land and Tatler. This book was published by Oxford University Press in July 2009. This book covers a wide range of natural settings, considering how we use our eyes to gather the information we need to perform these activities. A central theme is that the eye movement system has its own knowledge about where to find the most appropriate information for guiding action - information not usually available to conscious scrutiny. Thus each type of action has its own specific repertoire of linked eye movements, acquired in parallel with the motor skills themselves.
