  • Space and sense
    Millar, Susanna
    Z ovoja: "This book reverses the usual focus on vision, and examines what active touch may have in common with vision, in order to clarify the role of the senses in spatial processing. The approach ... centres on the specifically "spatial" aspects of processing that are rarely specified explicitly. Space and Sense shows that in touch, as in vision, external as well as body-centred reference cues improve perception." "Susanna Millar presents new evidence on the role of spatial cues in touch and movement both with and without vision. She applies the notion of interrelated neural networks in current neuroscience to interactions of touch and movement with vision. The book addresses the paradox that vision is either viewed as necessary or else irrelevant to spatial processing, and challenges the traditional belief that links touch solely to body-centred information. The book shows how posture and external stimuli can bias the direction in which we move, how shape illusions in touch and vision can be reduced by the same information, and that external cues can improve location recall in touch and movement also without vision." "Space and Sense provides empirical evidence for an important distinction between spatial vision and vision that excludes spatial cues in relation to touch. This important new volume extends previous descriptions and provides new evidence for how we make sense of the space around us and what vision and touch contribute to that process."--Jacket
