Psychophysics and Experimental Phenomenology of Pattern Cognition (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Psychophysics and Experimental Phenomenology of Pattern Cognition, Second Edition delves into the cognitive processes involved in pattern recognition and the specialized systems that handle these processes. Topics covered include symmetry cognition, contour perception, geometric illusions, weight sensation, as well as repetitive and dot patterns. By integrating aspects of psychophysics and experimental phenomenology, the book offers a thorough exploration of pattern cognition from both physical and mental sensory viewpoints, offering a holistic understanding of this cognitive system. New to the second edition are updated models, including one which can draw theoretical curves of rod function, new experimental data on unifiedness as examined in a three-stage serial model. This edition also includes brand new chapters on - Offers an interdisciplinary approach to psychophysics, experimental phenomenology and cognition - Explores the cognitive processes that drive pattern cognition and the specialized systems for processing these transformations. - Includes in-depth sections on symmetry cognition, contour perception, and geometric illusions

Autorenporträt

Dr. Hamada received his Bachelor's degree in Experimental and Mathematical Psychology (1971) from Tokushima University, his Master's degree in Color Vision (1973) from Osaka Kyoiku University, and his PhD degree in Experimental and Mathematical Psychology (1980) from Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan. Based at Tokushima University since 1982, he has been Professor Emeritus since 2013. In 1991 he was a guest scientist at Department of Sensory Neurophysiology of Institut für Arbeitsphysiologie at Dortmund University, Germany. His main research areas are in symmetry cognition, contour perception, brightness illusion, geometrical illusion, and negative time-order effect on weight sensation.
