Perceptual processes such as recognizing faces, seeing color, hearing music, and feeling pain represent the actions of complex mechanisms, yet we usually do them easily. The \u003cb\u003eEncyclopedia of Perception\u003c\/b\u003e presents a comprehensive overview of the field of perception through authoritative essays written by leading researchers and theoreticians in psychology, the cognitive sciences, neuroscience, and medical disciplines. It presents two parallel and interacting approaches: the psychophysical, or determining the relationship between stimuli in the environment and perception, and the physiological, or locating the biological systems responsible for perception. Are there any processes not associated with perception? Surely there are, but the pervasiveness of perception is truly impressive, and the phenomena of perception and its mechanisms are what this encyclopedia is about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains 16 pages of color illustration and photography to accompany the entries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers a varied and broad list of topics, including basic research as well as methodologies, theoretical approaches, and real-world applications of perceptual research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmphasizes human perception but includes ample research because of its importance in its own right and because of what this research tells us about human perception\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by recognized experts from many disciplines but for an audience with no previous background in perception--students and members of the general public alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Themes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical Senses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCognition and Perception\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputers and Perception\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsciousness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisorders of Perception\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllusory Perceptions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual Differences (Human) and Comparative (Across Species; Not Including Ageing, Disorders, and Perceptual Development)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerceptual Development\/Experience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhilosophical Approaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhysiological Processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSense Interaction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSkin and Body Senses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheoretical Approaches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVisual Perception\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLJ Best Reference Sources\u003c\/span\u003e 11\/15\/2009 pg. 50 (EAN 9781412940818, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eChoice\u003c\/span\u003e 07\/01\/2010 (EAN 9781412940818, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 06\/15\/2010 pg. 94 (EAN 9781412940818, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/span\u003e 05\/01\/2010 pg. 10 (EAN 9781412940818, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eGoldstein, E Bruce\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tE.
