Höfundarnir eru sérfræðingar hver á sínu sviði og miðla áhuga sínum á grundvallarspurningum um skynfæri mannsins og á því hvaða þýðingu svörin hafa fyrir læknisfræði og samfélag.
Bókin fléttar saman taugavísindi og hugfræði í jöfnum hlutföllum og fjallar um samspil skynfæranna og fjölskynja eðli skynreynslunnar. Með skýrum texta og lifandi efni sem tengir vísindalega þekkingu við daglegt líf og leiðir nemendur í gegnum vísindalega aðferð og tilraunahönnun er bókin aðgengileg nemendum úr ólíkum greinum.
Sensation and Perception, Seventh Edition, introduces students to the fascinating world of human senses and helps them answer such interesting questions as "Why do some substances taste sweet" or "Why does music sound musical?" The authors, specialists in their respective domains, strive to spread their enthusiasm for fundamental questions about the human senses and the impact that answers to those questions have on medical and societal issues.
Offering a comprehensive and balanced blend of neuroscience and cognitive psychology, Sensation and Perception studies the interaction and multisensory nature of sensory experiences of the senses.
