Rubber hands and rubber brains ; Touching speech and feeling rainbows -- Seeing. Facing the uncanny valley ; The highest form of flattery -- Multisensory perception. See what I'm saying ; All of the above.University of California psychologist and researcher Lawrence D. Rosenblum explores the astonishing abilities of the five senses, abilities few of us even know we have. Drawing on groundbreaking insights into the brain's neuroplasticity and integrative powers, including findings from his own research, Rosenblum examines how the brain uses the subtlest information to apprehend the world. A blind person, for example, can "see" through batlike echolocation; wine connoisseurs can actually taste the vintage of an obscure wine; pheromones can signal a lover's compatibility; and an undetected odor can influence our behavior. Rosenblum takes us from the "beep" baseball fields where blind players swing at buzzing balls to a pitch-black restaurant where diners experience taste without the aid of sight, not only illuminating the science behind our sensory powers but also demonstrating how increased awareness of these abilities can actually enhance how we use them.--From publisher description.

The mechanisms of perception / by Piaget, Jean,1896-1980.(CARDINAL)137606;
Includes bibliographical references.Primary illusions and the Law of Relative Centrations -- Effects of centration -- Perceptual activities and secondary illusions -- Perceptual constancies and causality -- Perceptions of movement, of velocity and of time -- Difference, similarities and possible filiations between the structures of perception and those of intelligence -- The perceptual or non-perceptual origins of the structures of intelligence -- Conclusion: the epistemology of perception.This major work represents a synthesis of Piaget's pioneering studies on the development of perception (many of them reported here for the first time), which he has conducted over the past quarter-century. Perception has been studied in many ways. Piaget's investigations, however, have focused on two general problems to which most specialists have paid little attention: (1) the relationship between perception and intelligence and (2) the epistemological status of perception compared with that of other forms of knowledge. Toward the solution of these and other problems, Piaget applies his well-known genetic method. From exhaustive investigations into perceptual illusions, and their strengthening or weakening under different conditions and with subjects of different ages, Piaget proceeds to an examination of the structures of intelligence and their relation to perception.-- Book Jacket.
