Product Description: In the first part, six chapters based generally, but not solely, on the theoretical model of an internal clock describe the latest research and examine critically the current models concerning the abilities and mechanisms of time estimation and temporal coordination in humans and animals...read more

Product Description: There are very few concepts that fascinate equally a theoretical physicist studying black holes and a patient undergoing seriolls mental psychosis. Time, undoubtedly, can well be ranked among them. For the measure of time inside a black hole is no less bizarre than the perception of time by a schizophrenic, who may perceive it as completely "suspended," "standing still," or even "reversing its direction...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: The proceedings of a workshop held in Amsterdam in August 1984 devoted to the application of quantitative methods of physics and engineering to the study of vision. The papers presented summarize the current position with regard to three research questions: how the visual system segregates an object from the background; how two-dimensional representation encodes three-dimensional information and how visual information is physically encoded in the brain...read more
