Aims to give an integrative approach of time sense and to focus the analysis on temporal factors in the processing of movement, trying to link temporal perception studies in the final common pathway, that is motion. This work also seeks to give some clues of human brain integrative processes at higher levels.

A collection that initiates explorations of the human mind via the technologies the mind produces. It covers such topics as: using technology to empower the cognitively impaired; the ethics versus aesthetics of technology; and, the externalisation of emotive and affective life and its special dialectic ('mirror') effects.

Aims to provide a comprehensive overview of hemispheric differences in sensory and perceptual processing. This book deals directly with the intra- and inter-hemispheric processing of spatial and temporal frequencies in the visual modality.

The simple task of grasping objects has been studied for centuries by scientists, therapists and engineers who have tried to understand and duplicate the versatility of the human hand.
