Description
Sensation and Perception by Elisabeth J. Ploran and Hugh J. Foley is a comprehensive guide to understanding how humans detect and interpret sensory information from their environment. The book explores the fundamental principles of sensation, including how sensory receptors convert physical stimuli into neural signals, and examines the psychological processes that transform these signals into meaningful perceptions.
Through detailed explanations and research-backed content, the authors cover all major sensory systems including vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. The text addresses both classical concepts and contemporary findings in sensory neuroscience, making it accessible to students and professionals alike. Special attention is given to how the brain organizes sensory information, recognizes patterns, and constructs our subjective experience of reality. This Routledge publication serves as an essential resource for psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science students seeking deeper understanding of sensory processes.
