This book presents fundamental knowledge about the senses and perception in a multifaceted and lively manner in its second revised, updated, and expanded edition. In addition to the higher senses of seeing and hearing, it also thoroughly covers smelling and tasting, as well as aspects of feeling, including the sense of balance. This introduction to perception psychology takes into account biological and neuroscientific perspectives, as well as cultural and humanities viewpoints. Special attention is given to the role of the body and movement in perception, the interplay of the senses (multisensory perception and synesthesias), and their contribution to aesthetic experience and atmosphere. Thus, this introduction to perception psychology particularly appeals to readers from art and design disciplines.
