Aims to give an integrative approach of time sense and to focus the analysis on temporal factors in the processing of movement, trying to link temporal perception studies in the final common pathway, that is motion. This work also seeks to give some clues of human brain integrative processes at higher levels.

There has been a major growth in research on how memory is used in everyday life. This volume aims to represent a reaction to traditional laboratory-bound studies of the first half of the century which sought to identify the fundamental principles of learning and memory through the use of materials and methods totally divorced from the real world.

Aims to provide a comprehensive overview of hemispheric differences in sensory and perceptual processing. This book deals directly with the intra- and inter-hemispheric processing of spatial and temporal frequencies in the visual modality.

The simple task of grasping objects has been studied for centuries by scientists, therapists and engineers who have tried to understand and duplicate the versatility of the human hand.
