Abstract

The major reference work for a rapidly advancing field synthesizes central themes, reports on current findings, and offers a blueprint for future research.Scientists' attempts to understand the physiology underlying our apprehension of the physical world was long dominated by a focus on the individual senses. The 1980s saw the beginning of systematic efforts to examine interactions among different sensory modalities at the level of the single neuron. And by the end of the 1990s, a recognizable and multidisciplinary field of "multisensory processes" had emerged. More recently, studies involving both human and nonhuman subjects have focused on relationships among multisensory neuronal ensembles and their behavioral, perceptual, and cognitive correlates. The New Handbook of Multisensory Processing synthesizes the central themes in this rapidly developing area, reports on current findings, and offers a blueprint for future research. The contributions, all of them written for this volume by leading experts, reflect the evolution and current state of the field.This handbook does more than simply review the field. Each of the volume's eleven sections broadly surveys a major topic, and each begins with a substantive and thought-provoking commentary by the section editor that identifies the major issues being explored, describes their treatment in the chapters that follow, and sets these findings within the context of the existing body of knowledge. Together, the commentaries and chapters provide an invaluable guide to areas of general agreement, unresolved issues, and topics that remain to be explored in this fast-moving field.y leading experts, reflect the evolution and current state of the field.This handbook does more than simply review the field.

Abstract

Contrairement à ce que laisse accroire une maxime pour nous sans âge – Nihil est in intellectu quod prius non fuerit in sensu, rien n’est dans l’intellect qui n’ait été auparavant dans les sens – le concept comme le lexique de la « sensation » (sensatio en latin) sont entrés très tardivement sur la scène philosophique, dans la première moitié du XVIIe siècle. Leur apparition nécessitait en effet un double processus d’unification, de l’instance psychique et de la causalité physique. Ce processus s’est amorcé certes tardivement, mais les catégories scolaires n’en ont malheureusement retenu qu’une version, celle de Descartes, dans laquelle pourtant ni le lexique ni le concept de sensation n’ont leur place. On peut alors fixer la tâche d’une généalogie : remonter aux sources multiples de cette double unification, à ses diverses formulations, ainsi qu’aux divergentes théories du sensible auxquelles elles ont donné lieu. La sensation se révèle alors être moins l’expression d’un « climat idéologique » que la résultante de choix théoriques précis, tant dans le domaine de la physique que dans celui de la physiologie ou encore de la psychologie. Ces choix permettent en outre d’établir plus précisément les coordonnées de l’empirisme moderne.

Abstract

"Quels sens influencent la perception, l'appréciation d'un produit ou d'un service ? Le positionnement d'une marque est-il perceptible dans le goût, l'odeur, la texture de ses produits... ? Comment utiliser les cinq sens pour inventer de nouveaux produits ? Face à l'évolution des marchés, le marketing 'traditionnel' ne suffit plus. La consommation est devenue plus affective, le consommateur est désormais à la recherche de stimulations sensorielles et émotionnelles que les entreprises doivent satisfaire."

Abstract

Neuropathic pain is known to be pain with nerve involvement. The intensity of which depends on the severity, pain threshold and the ability of suffers to cope. Neuropathic pain may need mono-therapy or combination of therapies to be resolved. Neuropathic pain may not resolve completely, therefore patient's compliance and understanding is essential in its management. Awareness and patient's education on targets may be of help during therapies for neuropathic pain. All chapters treated introduction, characteristics, diagnosis and randomized interventions to certain management of neuropathic pain. We acknowledge all those involve in the making of this book.
