Greetings Humanists,
Hello, It is an exquisite honour for me to introduce the new book of
Professor Donald Hoffman, the "VISUAL INTELLIGENCE"..his book explored the
extraordinary, overlooked creative genius of the mind's eye. Professor
Hoffman is Professor of cognitive science, philosophy, and computer
science at the University of California, Irvine. In an informal style
replete with illustrations, cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman presents
the compelling scientific evidence for vision's constructive powers..In
the words of Professor Hoffman..Visual Intelligence is the power that
people use to "construct and experience of objects out of colors, lines,
and motions."
Some excerpts about the book can be read at
