Full Description

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
