* The aim of the book is to present a state of the art assessment of highway safety from a ‘user-centered’ perspective. The user in this case is the driver, the cyclist, and the pedestrian. The book will cover driving behavior from the motivational and information-processing perspective, and following a consideration of several models that have been proposed to describe driver behavior, different topics will cover the major research issues of the past decade. *

* Based on a cognitive functionality split, execution and command levels are detailed. The execution level centralized over the stability control performs the motion vector coming from the command level. At this level the driver generates a motion vector which is continuously monitored by a virtual co-pilot. The integration of assistance systems in a safety relevant multi-agent system is presented here to provide first an adequate feedback to the driver to let him recover a dangerous situation. Robust strategies are also presented for the intervention phase once the command vehicle has to be optimized to stay within the safety envelope. *

* Human object recognition is a classical topic both for philosophy and for the natural sciences. The idea that visual recognition is action oriented developed in philosophy and psychology but inspired the approaches of sensory-motor integration in physiology and active vision in robotics. Attention, originally a psychological concept, is now a hot topic both for the neurosciences and computer science. Indeed, problems of competition among concurrent processes of data analysis, task requirements, and economic allocation of processing resources remain to be solved. Ultimately, understanding of object recognition will be promoted by the cooperation of behavioral research, neurophysiology, and computation. This book provides an excellent introduction to the issues that are involved, with chapters that address the ways in which humans and machines attend to, recognize, and act toward objects in the visual environment. *

Part 1. Why a Causal Account of Perception is Necessary: 1. The Structure of Perceptual Experience/ 2. The Sceptical Challenge/ 3. The Failure of Direct Realist Theories/ 4. Conclusion/ Part 2. How There Can Be a Causal Account of Perception: 6. Causality and Our Understanding of Perception/ 6. Presence, Projectivism and Critical Realism/ 7. The Possibility of Knowledge. Appendix: The Vindication of Sense Data/
* This book challenges contemporary direct realist theories of perception and defends a version of the causal theory that the author locates in the critical realist tradition of which Wilfrid Sellars is the main recent exponent. The author highlights the difficulties direct realists face in providing a coherent positive account of their view. He develops an analysis of perceptual experience derived from the later writings of Sellars. According to this account experience involves both low-level concepts and a distinct sensory component. This view makes sense of the various notions of nonconceptual content appealed to in current discussion, and provides, in addition, solutions to the conceptual problems raised by recent experimental work on attention and change-blindness. An important feature of this theory is the dynamic navigational account of perception and action, which points to an underlying continuity between common sense, scientific and philosophical accounts of perceiving. *

Attention and Aging. Part V. Attention and Interface Design. Part VI. Attention and Training. Part VII. Future Directions. *
* The study of attention in the laboratory has been crucial to understanding the mechanisms that support several different facets of attentional processing: Our ability to both divide attention among multiple tasks and stimuli, and selectively focus it on task-relevant information, while ignoring distracting task-irrelevant information, as well as how top-down and bottom-up factors influence the way that attention is directed within and across modalities. Equally important, however, is research that has attempted to scale up to the real world this empirical work on attention that has traditionally been well controlled by limited laboratory paradigms and phenomena. These types of basic and theoretically guided applied research on attention have benefited immeasurably from the work of Christopher Wickens. *
