导言
这个《100篇视觉研究文献》列表是Yury Petrov博士2007年左右在东北大学任教时编纂的。原始网页现在已经失效了。我在这里转载了原始网页的内容。
Yury Petrov博士的选文标准
我剔除了所有的综述文章。这个列表中的文章是根据Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science数据库截止到2007年1月的引用次数排序的。Google Scholar和Scopus的引用数据较为一致，但是Web of Science上的数据有很大的差异。前两个数据库偏重近期刊登在网上的文章。因此，三个数据库中的引用数据中最高的两项(Google Scholar和Web of Science)决定了文章的次序。我觉得这个排序给“文献的重要性”提供了相对客观的标准。同时我也引用了一些“主观评分”作补充，比如有多少受欢迎的《感觉与知觉》教材引用了某个文章。作为参考的教材包括：
- Blake, R. and Seculer, R., Perception, 5-th edition, McGraw Hill Higher Education, (2006).
- Coren, S., Ward, L. M., and Enns, J. T., Sensation and Perception, 6-th edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., (2004).
- Goldstein, B., Sensation and Perception, 6-th edition, Wadsworth-Thomson Learning, (2002).
- Mater, G., Foundations of Perception, Psychology Press, (2006).
- Schiffman, H. R., Sensation and Perception, 5-th edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., (2001).
- Wolfe, J. M. et al., Sensation and Perception, Sinauer Associates, Inc., (2006).
- Wandell, B. A., Foundations of Vision, Sinauer Associates, Inc., (1995).
原作声明: 文章的选择只是我的个人观点。ISI数据库只能追溯到1970年（虽然Web of Science声称“SCI扩展版”数据库可以追溯到1900年），较老的文献的引用数据很可能被低估了。这里的排序仅供参考，并不能被用来比较文章的科学贡献。
Feitong的声明: 这个列表相对比较久远了，离今天（2017年）已经有10年了。在过去的十年，视觉科学研究领域有了突飞猛进的发展；新的研究成果有可能给这些早期的文章提供了更多的证据，也可能发现了其中不少的错误。不论如何，这个列表仍然可以作为一个比较好的视觉科学研究的《导读清单》 ，能帮助新进入视觉科学的研究者了解整个视觉科学的历史和蓝图，以及各种经典的视觉科学研究手段，比如心理物理学、神经生理学、计算建模等等。

我基本上收集全了整个列表，但是依然漏掉了其中的5篇文献。 点击这里 下载整个压缩包[259.7MB]. 在我的求学期间，我没有完全读完整个列表，但是应该读完了80%~85%.
