Synopsis

Explore how our senses map space, from how we hear to how we see it.

This book surveys the science of auditory and visual space perception, showing how the brain constructs positions, directions, and distances from sound and sight. It blends theory with careful experiments to reveal what our inner space looks like and how it works with touch and movement.

  • Learn how auditory space can be an independent, real concept, distinct from what we see or feel.
  • See why everyday hearing can be unreliable without controlled conditions, and how reflections can affect location judgments.
  • Discover how visual illusions reveal the struggles and limits of spatial understanding, including the idea of double motion and fancy coil-based illusions.
  • Understand how rhythm, intensity, and the interaction of multiple cues shape our sense of position and direction.
Ideal for readers curious about how the mind creates a unified sense of the external world from separate senses, and for those interested in the science behind perception experiments.
