About This Book
Neurosensory systems are presented by the essential elements of their complexity. The fascinating travel through hearing, vision, touch, smell, and taste aims at giving both the holistic elements of perception and psychophysics and the neural correlates. This is in turn finalized to bioengineering tasks such as the functional evaluation of senses and the design of aids, implants, or even bioinspired devices. The material and its organization were refined through decades of teaching of the homonymous course at the Politecnico di Milano. The book may provide an introduction to the specific neurosensory systems and, more generally, to neuroscience and cognition. So, it might be of interest not only to biomedical engineering and other technical areas but also to disciplines in the vast field of neuroscience.
