---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2000 12:38:24 +1000 From: Patrick Wilken <patrickw(a)CS.MONASH.EDU.AU> Reply-To: "PSYCHE Discussion Forum (Theoretical emphasis)" <PSYCHE-D(a)LISTSERV.UH.EDU> To: PSYCHE-D(a)LISTSERV.UH.EDU Subject: BOOK: The Art of Optical Illusions by Al Seckel Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2000 15:24:27 -0700 From: Al Seckel <seckel(a)klab.caltech.edu> Greetings, Quite a number of vision and cognitive scientists have urged me to send out a notification of my recently published book on illusions, which contains many new effects, as well as the traditional classic ones. It is the best published collection so far. Although the book is in a popular format, the over 160 full page illustrations are of high quality and in color, which makes it worthwhile collection for anyone studying vision and cognitive science. The Art of Optical Illusions by Al Seckel http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1842220543/psycheorpsycheorA It is available for $17.00 at amazon.com I am actively researching illusions, and have assembled the largest collection of such effects in the world. Many of you will be familiar with my web site (www.illusionworks.com) that is heavily cited. If you have discovered some new effects, I would be most interested in hearing about them, as I am preparing an authoritative treatise for MIT Press.

The University has faculties of Arts and Science, Health Sciences (including Medicine, Nursing and Rehabilitation Medicine), Law, Applied Science (Engineering), Education and Business as well as a School of Graduate Studies and Research. Queen�s ranks highly among Canadian universities. Among Ontario universities, Queen�s has the highest proportion of Ontario Scholars among its first year students. It ranks at or near the top among Canadian universities in terms of: scholarship and bursary funding; Rhodes scholars; students who complete their degrees; and in the number of Killam Awards made to faculty members.

More information about the University can be obtained from the web site http://www.queensu.ca/. Department of Psychology The Department of Psychology was established in 1949 although work in psychology began in the Department of Philosophy in 1924. The present Department has 32 full time faculty members, two special appointments, 19 cross appointments, 17 adjunct professors and 27 clinical supervisors. Faculty research covers a wide variety of areas. At the graduate level there are three main programmes of study: Brain, Behaviour and Cognitive Science; Clinical; and Social. There is also a Forensic Specialization available. Ten full-time faculty members are identified with the Clinical Programme. The graduate programme in Clinical Psychology was established in 1959 and adheres to a scientist-practitioner model of training with greater emphasis on scientific training.� The major aim is not only to transmit existing knowledge, but to develop constructively critical attitudes and creative skills in psychologists who are dedicated to clinical psychology as a scientific profession, so that they will be able to make useful and novel contributions to the solution of problems arising in clinical settings. All three functions of clinical psychology are stressed: assessment, treatment, and research. Objective methods are preferred in assessment, and the major emphasis in treatment is on empirically-based approaches. Instruction emphasizes cognitive-behavioural approaches, although reference is also made to other psychotherapeutic approaches as well as physical methods of treatment. The programme is accredited by both the Canadian and the American Psychological Associations. Of the 28 M.A. and 83 Ph.D. graduate students currently registered in the Department, 8 and 38, respectively, are in the Clinical Programme.
