• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Research on sensory processing or the way animals see, hear, smell, taste, feel and electrically and magnetically sense their environment has advanced a great deal over the last fifteen years. This book discusses the most important themes that have emerged from recent research and provides a summary of likely future directions and it will be essential reading for all researchers and graduate students interested in sensory systems.
