Taylor & Francis Ltd Foundations of Sensation and Perception
Book SynopsisFoundations of Sensation and Perception offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the science of sensation and perception. It covers all the human senses and answers many questions, such as why movies are so convincing, how ventriloquism works, why things sound different as you get older and why you may feel ill in an aircraft or sea vessel.Full of illustrations and graphs that bring concepts to life, the textbook covers vision, hearing, balance, touch, pain, smell and taste. It discusses each sensory system through its fundamental neuroscience, major perceptual qualities and underlying coding principles. Each chapter includes reflective questions, key terms and information boxes and chapter summaries. Each chapter ends with a tutorial section which introduces more advanced areas of study in an accessible way (including measurement of light and Fourier analysis) as well as topics outside of the mainstream of sensation (including music perception, cTrade Review"This 4th edition shows again how well George Mather is on top of new developments, linking it with a critical eye to the important work of the past. This version will secure that Foundations of Sensation and Perception keeps the status as one of the best introductions to the field of perception, for starting as well as advanced students of Perception. It also has lots to tell to a wider audience, in particular to those that work in applied domains where the senses play an important, if not decisive, role." -- Frans Verstraten, the University of Sydney, Australia"Mather’s Foundations of Sensation and Perception has always delivered high quality support for any budding student of vision, hearing, balance, touch, taste and smell. This new edition brings the subject matter bang up to date, blending traditional approaches with tutorials on each chapter, top and tailed with abstracts and summaries. Delivered with commanding ease, essential details and comparisons of investigative tools, theories and experiments inform and enrich the student’s journey of discovery into the bewildering complexities of what it is to be a sensory being. My bookshelf will not be without this new edition." -- Timothy S. Meese, College of Health and Life Sciences, Aston University, UK"This new edition is an excellent choice for introductory as well as advanced courses and has the breadth and depth to serve as a basic reference for all. The additions covering neural network approaches, body senses and vision make this a timely, comprehensive, and well-structured text. The book takes us through the mechanisms of sensation and perception and shows how they offer immediate and tangible access to the workings of the brain." -- Patrick Cavanagh, Emeritus Professor, Harvard University, USA, and Université Paris Cité, France.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Predisposed
Book SynopsisThis thoughtfully updated revision of a classic text sheds new light on the potential sociological and biological differences that result in deep, seemingly unbridgeable political divisions.Renowned social scientists and experts in biopolitics, John R. Hibbing, Kevin B. Smith, and John R. Alford present overwhelming evidence that political opinion is shaped not just by cultural background or information bias but is rather the result of diverse psychological, physiological, and genetic traits. This new edition shifts the emphasis from differences between the political left and the right (liberals and conservatives) as they have traditionally been understood and explores specific brands of liberalism and conservatism such as ardent supporters of politicians such as Donald Trump.An essential read for students and scholars of political psychology and party politics, this book invites the reader to reconsider their perspectives on public opinion and partisan conflict.

Taylor & Francis A New Approach to Human Social Evolution
Book SynopsisThis book provides an important examination into the role of evolution of human traits of dominance as central to understanding social and political events, proposing a new view on human social evolution. This book examines basic biological universal needs and behavioral profiles of non-human living beings, from which humans share essential survival components. It invites readers to think critically about the psychological evolution of the human brain. Using comparative psychology, it argues that the core of human behavior lies in the ancient, animal, universal set of survival resources hidden under various socialisation profiles. However, it generally fails to replace drives of dominance and aggression for physical and social survival. Genuine replacement of those primal behavioral drives would require fundamental neuro-socio-behavioral changes. This book supports the thesis that without education and the promotion of universal values involving environmental protection and individu

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Uttal Tetralogy of Cognitive Neuroscience
Book SynopsisThese four volumes, originally published between 1973 and 1988, were intended to provide a broad survey of cognitive neuroscience, a field known variously as physiological psychology or psychobiology in the 1970s and 1980s when the books were written. The general goal was to summarize what was known about the relation between brain and mind at that time, with an emphasis on sensory and perceptual topics. Out of print for many years, the Tetralogy is now available again, as a set for the first time (which is as the author envisaged it), or as individual volumes.William R. Uttal was Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Michigan and Professor Emeritus of Engineering at the Arizona State University. Uttal was a prolific author whose output included 30 books and 140 scientific articles.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Somatosensory Processing: From Single Neuron to
Book SynopsisThe diversity of contemporary investigative approaches included in this volume provides an exciting account of our current understanding of brain mechanisms responsible for sensory and perceptual experience in the areas of touch, kinesthesia, and pain.Postgraduate research students in sensory physiology, neurology, psychology and anatomy, and researchers themselves will find that this volume addresses many of the key issues in our attempts to understand the neural mechanisms that mediate sensory experience arising from the body as a whole, the so-called somatic senses, in particular for touch and pain. The volume provides a record of the occasion of the St Petersburg IUPS symposium, chaired by the editors of this volume, and includes some added recent contributions from other leading international figures in the field. Brought together under the sponsoring banner of the IUPS Commission for Somatosensory Physiology and Pain, these scientists with their different experimental approaches seek collectively to understand the brain mechanisms that underlie our own nature and experience.Table of Contents1. Responses of Slowly Adapting Cutaneous Mechanoreceptive Afferent Fibres to Three-Dimensional Tactile Stimuli 2. Pain Due to Nerve Injury: Role of Nerve Growth Factor 3. The Primary Nociceptive Neuron: A Nerve Cell With Many Functions 4. Evidence for the Presence of a Visceral Pain Pathway in the Dorsal Column of the Spinal Cord 5. Transmission Security Across Central Synapses for Tactile and Kinaesthetic Signals 6.

Cambridge University Press The NEURON Book
Book SynopsisThe authoritative reference on NEURON, the simulation environment for modeling biological neurons and neural networks that enjoys wide use in the experimental and computational neuroscience communities. This book shows how to use NEURON to construct and apply empirically based models. Written primarily for neuroscience investigators, teachers, and students, it assumes no previous knowledge of computer programming or numerical methods. Readers with a background in the physical sciences or mathematics, who have some knowledge about brain cells and circuits and are interested in computational modeling, will also find it helpful. The NEURON Book covers material that ranges from the inner workings of this program, to practical considerations involved in specifying the anatomical and biophysical properties that are to be represented in models. It uses a problem-solving approach, with many working examples that readers can try for themselves.Table of ContentsPreface; Acknowledgements; 1. A tour of the NEURON simulation environment; 2. The modeling perspective; 3. Expressing conceptual models in mathematical terms; 4. Essentials of numerical methods for neural modeling; 5. Representing neurons with a digital computer; 6.

Cambridge University Press The Dopaminergic Mind in Human Evolution and History
Book SynopsisDopamine is the most widely studied of all neurotransmitters in the human brain. In this text, Fred Previc puts forth a provocative evolutionary theory, positing that high levels of dopamine account for all major aspects of uniquely human behaviour, including abstract intelligence, creativity, exploration, religious behaviour and left-hemispheric thought.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'One of the challenges of evolutionary theory is to explain how we humans have come to occupy our exalted place on earth. What other species can even begin to speculate on its own evolution? Most accounts have focused on such characteristics as brain size, language, tool use, or cerebral asymmetry. In this extraordinary book, Previc puts the onus on the dopaminergic system, and builds the case from there. Written with enthusiasm and verve, this book will cause us to rethink our ideas about where we came from, and how we got here.' Michael Corballis, The University of AucklandReview of the hardback: 'Whether you agree with Fred Previc's theories or not, his astonishingly ambitious history of the role of dopamine in the development of human consciousness is one of the most thought provoking and deeply informed science books I've read in years. A bold synthesis of evolutionary theory, genetics, and musings on war, technology, culture, and mental illness, this book will shake you up and make you see the timeline of human development - and the dynamics of your own mind - in startlingly fresh ways.' Steve Silberman, Senior Writer for Wired magazineTable of Contents1. What makes humans special?; 2. Dopamine in the brain; 3. Dopamine and behaviour; 4. Dopamine and mental health; 5. Evolution of the dopaminergic mind; 6. The dopaminergic mind in history; 7. Relinquishing the dopaminergic imperative.
