bibliographies, and career information for research in human and
animal vision.
- Auditory
Perception Lab
- Information on projects and research done at the auditory lab at
University of California, Berkeley, and links to information about
the ear and its functions, and to the Hearing Sciences Homepage.

information on related research.
Suggestions for Further Reading
Bruce, V. & Green, P. (1990). Visual perception: Physiology,
psychology and ecology. London: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.
Gregory, R. L. (1990). Eye and brain: The psychology of seeing
(5th ed.). Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press.
Many books have been written about vision and visual perception.
Gregory's book is an excellent starting point, based on a thorough
knowledge of the subject, written with wit and style, and well
illustrated. The book by Bruce and Green is also fine and discusses some
topics not covered in the Gregory book.
Gulick, W. L., Gescheider, G. A., & Frisina, R. D. (1989). Hearing:
Physiological acoustics, neural coding, and psychoacoustics. New York:
Oxford University Press.
Yost, W. A. (2000). Fundamentals of hearing: An introduction
(4th ed.). San Diego: Academic Press.
There are many excellent books on hearing. I can especially recommend
these two for their thoroughness and accuracy.
Matlin, M., & Foley H. J. (1997). Perception (4th ed.). Boston:
Allyn and Bacon.
Sekuler, R., & Blake, R. (1990). Perception (2nd ed.). New
York: McGraw-Hill.
Both of these books provide good introductions to the functions of
the sensory systems. The book by Matlin and Foley has an excellent
chapter on taste, with many applications for food and beverage tasting.
