Feelings: Neurobiology of sensory perception

Rob Desalla"s book summarizes the latest results in the field of neurobiological studies of human feelings. It tells not only how we see, hear, touch, feel the taste and smell, maintain balance, feel pain, but also about how all this forms our perception of the world, including from an aesthetic and artistic point of view, Helping to create works of art. Having affected the evolutionary aspect of the formation of perception and consciousness, the author proceeds to the coverage of topics of such a range of feelings in humans (hypersensitivity and reduced sensitivity), synesthesia, hemisphere specialization, diseases and abnormalities caused by injuries, hallucinations, and many others. Drawing parallels with representatives of other biological species and resorting to purely scientific instruments (genetic and biomolecular), Rob Desall makes the unique miracles of the human brain extremely understandable.
“Over the past decades, new methods have appeared in neurophysiology, thanks to which you can look at our feelings and understand them. This book is a detailed study of already known facts about our feelings and new research in this area. ” (Rob Desall)
