Improve composition by learning about our vision

For anyone trying to improve their
composition skills or in need of a good read, I highly recommend
Vision and Art: The Biology of Seeing by
Margaret S. Livingstone.
The book attempts to educate the reader on the basics of how the eye and brain works and how then the reader can apply that knowledge in visual artwork which is the reason why I bought and read it. I hope to apply the principles from the book in my photography and thereby make more visually appealing photographs. Besides the whole art side of things, its also a good book to read for those interested in science, medicine, and psychology (although there may be better related books).
