Author: Micah M. Murray File Type: pdf It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging and neuroscience methods, The Neural Bases of Multisensory Processes details current understanding in the neural bases for these phenomena as studied across species, stages of development, and clinical statuses.Organized thematically into nine sub-sections, the book is a collection of contributions by leading scientists in the field. Chapters build generally from basic to applied, allowing readers to ascertain how fundamental science informs the clinical and applied sciences.Topics discussed includeullAnatomy, essential for understanding the neural substrates of multisensory processingllNeurophysiological bases and how multisensory stimuli can dramatically change the encoding processes for sensory informationllCombinatorial principles and modeling, focusing on efforts to gain a better mechanistic handle on multisensory operations and their network dynamicsllDevelopment and plasticityllClinical manifestations and how perception and action are affected by altered sensory experiencellAttention and spatial representationslulThe last sections of the book focus on naturalistic multisensory processes in three separate contexts motion signals, multisensory contributions to the perception and generation of communication signals, and how the perception of flavor is generated. The text provides a solid introduction for newcomers and a strong overview of the current state of the field for experts.About the AuthorMicah M. Murray has received awards for his research from the Leenaards Foundation (2005 Prize for the Promotion of Scientific Research), the faculty of Biology and Medicine at the University of Lausanne (2008 Young Investigator Prize), and from the Swiss National Science Foundation (bonus of excellence in research). His research has been widely covered by the national and international media and he has authored more than 80 articles and book chapters. His groups research primarily focuses on multisensory interactions, object recognition, learning and plasticity, electroencephalogram-correlated functional MRI (EEGfMRI) methodological developments, and systemscognitive neuroscience in general. Research in his group combines psychophysics, EEG, fMRI, and transcranial magnetic simulation in healthy and clinical populations.Mark T. Wallace has received a number of awards for both research and teaching, including the Faculty Excellence Award of Wake Forest University and the Outstanding Young Investigator in the Basic Sciences. He has an established record of research funding from the National Institutes of Health and is the author of more than 125 research presentations and publications. He currently serves on the editorial board of several journals including Brain Topography, Cognitive Processes, and Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience. His work has employed a multidisciplinary approach to examining multisensory processing, and focuses upon the neural architecture of multisensory integration, its development, and its role in guiding human perception and performance.

Author: Christophe Wall-Romana File Type: pdf This is the first comprehensive study of Jean Epsteins fiction and documentary films, film theory, and writings on poetry and homosexuality. Until now no general introduction to this very influential filmmaker, thinker and writer was available in English. The book unfolds the intellectual trajectory of Epstein, describes and comments on his most famous films and little-known documentaries, both silent and sound works, and defines the key terms and concepts of his philosophy of cinema. Wall-Romana argues that Epstein is among the most transformational thinkers of modernity in that he brought together, before Walter Benjamin, moving images, technology, embodiment and affect, philosophy and literature. After an introduction retracing Epsteins life and place in cinema history, the first chapter shows the links between his early career in medicine, his early writings (on poetry, cinema and lyrosophy), and his conceptions of photogenie as embodied viewing. The next two chapters examine his best-known film work situated at the intersection of avant-garde and melodrama, and bring a new focus on the interplay of technics, failed romance, and queer themes and figures. The following three chapters take up his metaphysical Brittany cycle of the 1920s, his documentary committed to the Front Populaire, and his overall philosophy of the cinema. The conclusion explores the surprisingly Epsteinian dimension of some recent cinema, such as films by Soderbergh and Ang Lee, or the wuxia genre. Jean Epstein Corporeal cinema and film philosophy is aimed at students, lecturers, and scholars of silent cinema, film theory, French studies, queer studies, poetry studies, and media and digital studies in their turn towards embodiment and affect. **
