Description

Gestures are unique because they communicate an individual's moods and desires to the world but operate under different psychological and cognitive constraints than other actions. By uniting an array of experts from all over the world to explore the origins, neurobiology, and uses of gestures, speech, and sign, this book will appeal to a multi-disciplinary audience of advanced students and researchers in neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, deaf studies, and computer science.
