Her research investigates phenomenal qualities, and the nature of perceptual space\/time and visual operations. She has led a major international project to develop an accurate descriptive theory of appearances on an experimental basis. She is the editor of \u003ci\u003ePerception Beyond Inference: The Information Content of Visual Processes \u003c\/i\u003e(2011).\u003c\/p\u003e While the scientific study of vision is well-advanced and its concepts are widely agreed, there is still no universally accepted theory of qualitative visual appearances. Using such a theory, what we generally call objects in perception would effectively become collections of secondary qualities such as shape, direction, colour, transparency and luminosity, unified by the mind of the perceiver. Visual perception would thus become integrated into cognitive psychology, allowing for a more systematic and more broadly useful view than that offered by highly focused neuropsychological research. \u003cp\u003eLeading researchers around the world have taken up this challenge, and a body of knowledge has emerged as the new and interdisciplinary field of experimental phenomenology. This state-of-the-art handbook presents that knowledge, along with contextual material and new developments centered on the analysis of appearances. This emerging field has relevance and potential applications across a wide range of disciplines, and the stellar contributor list includes cognitive scientists, physicists, experimental psychologists, architectural designers, mathematicians and philosophers.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSystematic concern with visual appearances is as oldas modern science but it has not been pursued with the consistency accorded to visual processing.  Galileo interrogated appearances in contrast to the optical approach heralded in his day by Kepler and Scheiner. Now the study of appearances is enjoying a renaissance due in no small part to the novel techniques of experimental phenomenology so clearly expounded in this book.  Its practitioners are neither unified in their methods nor in their theories but they do share dissatisfactions with analyses of perception that sidestep the subjective dimensions which are fundamental features of our experience.—\u003cb\u003eNicholas Wade, Emeritus Professor, University of Dundee.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis Handbook brings together a distinguished collection of thinkers and researchers who address the subjective nature of visual perception as a science in its own right and who have developed a variety of new methods and concepts to investigate it. This could become an important book that redresses the balance of discussion and debate about what 'seeing' is, and its role in our mental lives.—\u003cb\u003eMark Georgeson, Professor of Vision Sciences, Aston University, Birmingham.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989331296485,"sku":"NP9781119954682","price":245.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119954682.jpg?v=1761783698","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/handbook-of-experimental-phenomenology-isbn-9781119954682","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
