Free Download Amber Jamilla Musser, "Between Shadows and Noise: Sensation, Situatedness, and the Undisciplined"
English | ISBN: 1478030097 | 2024 | 208 pages | PDF | 19 MB
In Between Shadows and Noise Amber Jamilla Musser theorizes sensation as a Black feminist method for aesthetic interpretation and criticism that uses the knowledges held by the body to access the unrepresentable. Thinking through Blackness, empire, and colonialism, Musser examines artworks ranging from Ming Smith’s Flamingo Fandango, Jordan Peele’s Us, and Katherine Dunham’s Shango to Samita Sinha’s This ember state, Titus Kaphar’s A Pillow for Fragile Fictions, and Teresita Fernández’s Puerto Rico (Burned) 6. She engages with these works from an embodied situatedness to grapple with the questions and sensations of racialization and difference that the works produce. Throughout, Musser rethinks how we consider the relationships between race, representation, and politics by dwelling in those spaces and concepts that elude Western norms of representation, objectivity, and logic. In so doing, she explores ways of being and knowing that exceed overdetermined parameters while offering a blueprint for sensing, imagining, and living otherwise.

Free Download Sensation in the Pelvic Region by Jean Jacques Wyndaele
English | November 19, 2022 | ISBN: 3031169638 | 196 pages | MOBI | 4.30 Mb
This book covers sensation in all major components of the pelvic region. The small pelvis is containing many different structures and viscera, and sensations elicited there are important for regulating a normal daily life and for warning that something is going wrong. The sensory system is driving in many aspects the motor activity, and precedes and guides the efferent functions. It is surprising that in the last 60 years the ratio between research and publications about sensory versus motor has gradually become less. There has been undoubtedly a rise in the number of publications written on pelvic sensation but in the same time the number of manuscripts on motor function have increased more.

Free Download Direct Nerve Stimulation for Induction of Sensation and Treatment of Phantom Limb Pain by Winnie Jensen
English | PDF (True) | 2019 | 302 Pages | ISBN : 877022076X | 94.6 MB
The amputation of a limb is a surgical intervention used as a last resort to remove irreparably damaged, diseased, or congenitally malformed limbs where retention of the limb is a threat to the well-being of the individual. The procedure traumatically alters the body image, but often leaves sensations that refer to the missing body part, the phantom limb. In 50-80% of cases, these sensations are perceived as painful and referred to as ‘Phantom Limb Pain’.

Free Download Valentina Valente Rossella Catanese, Francesca Scotto Lavina, "From Sensation to Synaesthesia in Film and New Media"
English | ISBN: 1527519244 | 2019 | 264 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This collection of essays focuses on current theories of sensation and synaesthesia in films and audiovisual works from a variety of methodological perspectives. It offers an insightful exploration of recent film theories about the cinematic experience. Film spectatorship and its extension in new media as a similar form of audience enjoyment stimulates both our senses and mind by creating immersive environments that involve different levels of emotion and consciousness. The collection addresses these topics through its five sections. The first, Perception, focuses on the synaesthetic mechanism underpinning film perception and its connection with affect, cognition, and emotions. The second part, Movement, calls into question the role of gesture and movement within the synaesthetic properties of film. The third section, Senses, examines how movies stimulate all senses, such as olfaction and haptics, and how senses flow into each other according to a-modal perception. The fourth, Abstractions, addresses how avant-garde and abstract cinema trigger synaesthetic reactions in the viewers. The fifth part, New Media and Media Art, explores the deep involvement of the human body through the experience of new media and a variety of synaesthetic implications theorized in different perspectives.

Free Download Jeremy M. Wolfe, "Sensation & Perception"
English | 2018 | pages: 627 | ISBN: 1605356417, 1605357448 | PDF | 54,5 mb
Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press. Sensation & Perception introduces students to their own senses. Human sensory and perceptual experience is emphasized, and the neuroscientific underpinnings of that experience introduced. By integrating current findings as the basics are presented, the authors impart to students that these are active areas of research. The Fourth Edition features an emphasis on Sensation & Perception in Everyday Life; this new box feature discusses a perceptual impairment or real-worl application related to the chapter topic. The text provides comprehensive treatment of higher perceptual/cognitive functions (e.g., attention, music, language) as well as expert coverage of sensory systems beyond vision and audition (including, notably, a full chapter on The Vestibular System and Our Sense of Equilibrium, and separate chapters on Taste and Olfaction). New material ranges from the latest neuroscience to medical applications to philosophical considerations. The book strives for a conversational tone that unites the voices of several domain specialists into a unified story of the human senses.
