Title: Sensory processing, perception, and behavior
Description: This monograph presents the main biological foundations for perception, judgment, and behavior, in an evolutionary and developmental context. It is a summary of evidence essential for understanding normal and abnormal subjective experience and behavior. The author has attempted to avoid the jargon of specific discilplines as much as possible, and to frame his approach from the point of view of everyday experiences and in such an informal manner that it would be accessible to anyone interested in human behavior.

The author has addressed himself to a central problem of human life, the problem of communication. No intelligent reader can fail to be fascinated by this illuminating essay written by one of the world's leading neuroscientists.
