PEP | Browse | Read - Neurobiology of Visual Perception: The past two decades have seen an explosion of knowledge in the field of neuroscience, and a parallel resurgence of interest in the biology of mind. Many psychoanalysts and neuroscientists alike have begun to explore ways in which observations from each field may complement or even direct research in the other field. Since few would hold to a strict mind-brain dualism, most anticipate that such cross-fertilization will be ultimately fruitful. Freud's original hopes for a biologically based depth psychology may begin to be realized a century later.
