Description
Sensation and Perception is a cutting edge and highly readable account of modern sensation and perception from both a cognitive and neurocognitive perspective. Written in an accessible and engaging manner, it is directed towards psychology students who come into this course with little preparation or background in the biological, neurological, or methodological principles that make up the core of the course. The book is rich in examples and applications to everyday life with an emphasis on areas of interest to students, namely, music, clinical applications, neuropsychology, and interesting animal perception systems. Instructors will appreciate the coverage of cognitive neuroscience issues, which will occur without an expectation that either the instructor or the students have much of a background in neuroanatomy, neuroimaging, or cellular neuroscience.
