The decomposition ofa complex auditory sound into its constituent simple harmonic variations (pure tones) is an example of Fourier analysis. Does the brain do something like this to visual scenes, decomposing a visual pattern into some simpler representation to help ease the information-processing load? As Norma Graham explains below, the answer to this question is both yes and no. But, yes or no, the idea that the brain might do a Fourier analysis of the visual scene has been a power~ l impetus to much exciting visual research in the last decade.
