Addresses the question of whether sensory channels, similar to those operate in vision and audition, also operate in the sense of touch. Based on the results of psychophysical and neurophysiological experimentation, this title makes a case that channels operate in the processing of mechanical stimulation of the sensitive glabrous skin of the hand.

This text provides coverage of the basic principles of psychophysics. Topics range from classical methods of threshold measurement to modern methods of detection theory. Methods, theories and applications are described for each procedure and this third edition brings the material up-to-date.
