"Filled with theoretical concepts, historical overviews, psychophysical and physiological data, mathematical models, and scholarly insights, the book is an intellectual tour de force. This contemporary overview of what Fechner called "a physics of the mind" will appeal to specialists in psychophysics, mathematical psychology, sensation and perception, and cognitive and information processing.
