Do you wonder how movies - sequences of static frames - appear to
move, or why 3-D films look different from traditional movies? Why
does ventriloquism work, and why can airliner flights make you feel
disoriented? The answers to these and other questions about the
human senses can be found within the pages of Foundations of
Sensation and Perception. This third edition maintains the standard
for clarity and accessibility combined with rigor which was set in
previous editions, making it suitable for a wide range of students.
As in the previous editions, the early chapters allow students to
grasp fundamental principles in relation to the relatively simple
sensory systems (smell, taste, touch and balance) before moving on
to more complex material in hearing and vision. The text has been
extensively updated, and this new edition includes: a new chapter
devoted to attention and perception over 200 new references over 30
new figures and improved, more colorful, visual presentation a new
companion website with a range of resources for students and
lecturers The book contains a range of pedagogical features,
including tutorial sections at the end of each chapter. This
distinctive feature introduces areas of the subject which are
rarely included in student texts, but are crucial for establishing
a firm foundation of knowledge. Some tutorials are devoted to more
advanced and technical topics (optics, light measurement, Bayesian
inference), but treated in an accessible manner, while others cover
topics a little outside of the mainstream (music perception,
consciousness, visual art). Foundations of Sensation and Perception
will enable the reader to achieve a firm grasp of current knowledge
concerning the processes that underlie our perception of the world
and will be an invaluable resource for those studying psychology,
neuroscience, and related disciplines.
