[visionlist] Highly cited publications on vision in which authors were also subjects?

The following quotation is not directly relevant, but is anyway interesting:

Testimony about Husserl.

But before examining them I would like to mention a rather surprising, but
telling testimony about Husserl, which occurs *in the autobiography of C.
E. Spearman* (1863-1945), the British-American pioneer of statistical
intelligence research, *in his account of his visit to Göttingen in 1906*.
After giving his impressions of G. E. Muller's teaching, Spearman adds the
following paragraph about Husserl:

"At the same university, that of Göttingen, I had the further advantage of
attending the lectures of Husserl, in his way, as great a man as Muller.
But their ways lay worlds apart. In fact, the sole thing that seemed common
to the two was the inability of each to appreciate the other. To Müller,
Husserl's fine analyses seemed to be a revival of the Middle Ages (as,
indeed, they largely were, but not necessarily to their disadvantage). To
Husserl, Müller's attempt to cope with psychological problems by means of
experiments was like trying to unravel lace with a pitchfork *(sciogliere
un laccio con un forcone)*. And yet Husserl's own procedure - as he
described it to me himself - *only differed from that of the best
experimentalists* dealing with similar problems in that *he had nobody but
himself as experimental subject.* " [pag 35]
