Abstract
The sense of vision plays an important role in the life of primates, by facilitating interactions with the environment that are crucial for survival tasks. Even relatively “unintelligent” animals can easily navigate through unknown, complex, dynamic environments, avoid obstacles, and recognize prey or predators at a distance. Skilled humans can view a scene and reproduce a model of it that captures its shape (sculpture) and appearance (painting) rather accurately.
