The aim of this highly original, single author presentation is to revolutionise the manner in which all audience members, (eye-care professionals included), think about and perceive their own vision. This aim will be illuminated by introducing numerous illustrative examples, which clearly identify and demonstrate how an understanding of the principles of the neuro-physiological engineering of human vision can be applied to the examination of paintings; and how in so doing, these principles can aid in the identification of “sleepers”, which are “unrecognised paintings by significant artists”, which have escaped the attentive eyes of renowned, professional experts such as art academics, art dealers, and auction house specialists.
