Publisher's Synopsis

Intended for courses in sensation and perception, this book covers the anatomy, physiology and phenomenology of the way humans sense and perceive the world. It is grounded in physiology to explain perceptual phenomena, on the theory that understanding sensation and perception is based in the physiology of the sensory organs and the brain.;The authors have tied the neuroscience to the cognitive phenomena as much as possible. Their goal is to use the physiology to enhance understanding of the psychological aspects of sensation and perception. Instead of focusing only on the physiological aspects of sensation or the cognitive aspects of perception, they seek to integrate these two complementary ways of studying perceptual processes. The book has a research base, with over 1000 references.
