New: Space and Sense
How do we perceive the space around us, locate objects within it, and make our way through it? What do the senses contribute?
This book focuses on touch in order to examine which aspects of vision and touch overlap in spatial processing. It argues that spatial processing depends crucially on integrating diverse sensory inputs as reference cues for the location, distance or direction response that spatial tasks demand.
Space and Sense shows how perception by touch, as by vision, can be helped by external reference cues, and that 'visual' illusions that are also found in touch depend on common factors and do not occur by chance.

Podcast Interview with Dr Jamie Ward
We're happy to announce the first Psychology Press podcast!
In this podcast we talk to Jamie Ward about the development of cognitive neuroscience, its portrayal in the media, his textbook The Student's Guide to Cognitive Neuroscience, and the recent debate on the usefulness (or seductiveness!) of the "flickering lights" of fMRI.
This interview serves as a general introduction to the subject of Cognitive Neuroscience, and we have released it on a Creative Commons licence so that professors and lecturers are free to copy & redistribute it on their university's network/website for the use of their students or to play it during a lecture.
You don't need an mp3 player to listen to the interview, however. You can just click the link below and listen to it through your web browser.

Contemporary Approaches in Cognitive Neuroscience
Psychology Press are launching a new series called Contemporary Approaches in Cognitive Neuroscience.
Series Editors:
- Stanislas Dehaene, Collège de France, Paris
- Alvaro Pascual-Leone, Harvard Medical School
- Jamie Ward, University College London
Invitation to Authors:
Reflecting contemporary and controversial issues in the study of cognitive neuroscience, the series aims to present a multi-disciplinary forum for cutting edge debate that will help shape this burgeoning discipline.
It offers leading figures in the field and the best new researchers an opportunity to showcase their own work, expand on their own theories and place these in the wider context of the field.
If you would like to submit a proposal to be included in this series we would like to hear from you! Titles in the series may be authored or edited; the only requirement is that each book must aim to make a contribution to a specific topic by reviewing and synthesising the existing research literature, by advancing theory in the area, or by some combination of these missions.
Please send your proposals to: book.proposals@psypress.co.uk
