Synopsis

Every chapter in the latest edition of this popular textbook has been thoroughly revised for increased readability and upgraded with new information. Explains how the physical world interacts with and stimulates the senses and, in turn, how the senses and the nervous system tranform, integrate and process the stimulation. Contains a broad and balanced treatment of the theories, principles and basic findings of the subject. Features new material on bottom-up processes, top-down processes, motion detectors, the psychological and physiological factors which mediate space perception, the uniqueness of speech and the McGurk effect. No other text on sensation can match the number and diversity of figures found in this edition.
