The authors
 Christopher Tyler, a neuroscientist known for inventing the autostereogram ("Magic Eye" pictures), combines his professional interests with a love of art. He is the Head of the Brain Imaging Center at the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute in San Francisco. His research career spans visual perception, stereoscopic depth, symmetry perception, and functional MRI studies of visual processing.
 Michael Kubovy (1940–2025) was a professor of cognitive psychology at the University of Virginia, with interests in visual and auditory perception, the psychology of visual art, and the phenomenology of experience. His 1986 book The Psychology of Perspective and Renaissance Art was a foundational work connecting perception science with art history. He was a Guggenheim Fellow and member of the Society of Experimental Psychologists.
