Sensory Individuals: Unimodal and Multimodal Perspectives provides an interdisciplinary, well-balanced, and comprehensive look at different aspects of unisensory and multisensory objects, using both nuanced philosophical analysis and informed empirical work.
The research presented in this book represents the field's progression from treating neural sensory processes as primarily modality-specific towards its current state of the art, according to which perception, and its supporting neural processes, are multi-modal, modality-independent, meta-modal, and task-dependent. Even within such approaches sensory stimuli, properties, brain activations, and corresponding perceptual phenomenology can still be characterized in a modality-specific way. The book examines the basic building blocks of human perception, and whether they are best understood as sensory modality dependent units of different forms or multimodal perceptual objects.
The book combines a variety of innovative and integrative angles to explore the topic and acts as a catalyst for an increasingly diverse field of research, which is in an exciting phase of growth and advancement. New questions are arising as quickly as they are being answered, and the collection Sensory Individuals provides an original and up-to-date addition to the field.
Aleksandra Mroczko-Wąsowicz is currently Associate Professor of Philosophy and Cognitive Science at the University of Warsaw. She earned her PhD in philosophy and neuroscience from the University of Mainz and the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt am Main in 2011. Before coming to Warsaw, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at Ruhr University Bochum and the University of Duesseldorf, and Associate Professor at the Institute of Philosophy of Mind and Cognition at the National Yang-Ming University in Taipei. Her research centres on empirically informed philosophy of perception and philosophy of cognitive neuroscience. Aleksandra Mroczko-Wąsowicz has worked on the phenomenon of synaesthesia, the unity of consciousness, modularity, cognitive enhancement, and interactions between perceptual modalities. Rick Grush is currently Professor of Philosophy at UCSD. He received a joint doctorate in philosophy and cognitive science from UCSD in 1995. From his doctoral dissertation to the early 2000s, Rick Grush developed the emulation theory of perception, imagery, and motor control. He then extended this framework to account for spatial and temporal aspects of perception. His research centres on theories of spatial and temporal representation and theoretical cognitive neuroscience.
