J.J. Zwislocki Sensory : Four Laws of Psychophysics

▶ The first book to focus on multisensory psychophysical laws ▶ Author is a leading researcher in the field of psychophysics

Sensory Neuroscience:Four Laws of Psychophysics examines both psychophysics, the science of relationships between sensations, and the stimuli that evoke them. More specifically, it defines four multisensory relationships of great generality between sensation magnitudes and the underlying magnitudes.

Although, psychophysics belongs to sensory neuroscience and is strongly coupled to , it also has branched out to various specialized academic fields, including the sciences of vision and , ophthalmology, optometry, otology, and audiology. Due to this diversification and fragmentation psychophysics has had an ad- hoc, phenomenological orientation and, besides the Weber law of differential sensitivity, has lacked a systematic grid of scientific laws. Through contributions from distinguished researchers in this field, Sensory Neuroscience:Four Laws of Psychophysics, provides valid 2009, XVIII, 174 p. 120 illus. unifying principles and systematic applications to this otherwise fragmented precursor of experimental psychology. This book will be particularly useful to auditory researchers, behavioural , and experimental psychologists.
