Description
Summary:This book presents up-to-date articles within different areas of modern psychophysics, thus giving a topical overview of current research. The contributions span a wide range of topics, from purely theoretical to applied. After an introductory chapter on central philosophical issues, the chapters are divided into two groups: the first dealing with theoretical and experimental issues and the second dealing with physiological and clinical issues. In contrast to other books on general psychophysical problems, these contributions emphasize subjective aspects such as perceived effort and exertion. The multiplicity of topics illustrates the vast and rich arena that finds modern psychophysics in action.
