"Sensory perception: mind and matter aims at a deeper understanding of the many facets of sensory perception and their relations to brain function and cognition. It is an attempt to promote the interdisciplinary discourse between the neurosciences and psychology, which speaks the language of cognitive experiences, and philosophy, which has been thinking about the meaning and origin of consciousness since its beginning. Leading experts contribute to such a discourse by informing the reader about exciting modern developments, both technical and conceptual, and by pointing to the big gaps still to be bridged. The various chapters provide access to scientific research on sensory perception and the mind from a broad perspective, covering a large spectrum of topics which range from the molecular mechanisms at work in sensory cells to the study of the unconscious and to neurophilosophy."

"The natural world contains a huge amount of constantly changing information. Limitations on, and specializations within, sensory systems mean that each species receives only a small part of that information. In essence, information is filtered by sensory systems. Sensory ecology aims to understand the nature and functions of those filters for each species and sensory system. Fluxes of information, and the perceptual challenges posed by different natural environments, are so large that sensory and behavioural specializations have been inevitable. There have been many trade-offs in the evolution of sensory capacities, and trade-offs and complementarity between different sensory capacities within species. Many behavioural tasks may have influenced the evolution of sensory capacities in birds, but the principal drivers have been associated with just two tasksforaging and predator detection. The key task is the control of the position and timing of the approach of the bill towards a target. Other tasks, such as locomotion and reproduction, are achieved within the requirements of foraging and predator detection. Information thatguides behaviours may often be sparse and partial and key behaviours may only be possible because of cognitive abilities which allow adequate interpretation of partial information. Human modifications of natural environments present perceptual challenges that cannot always be met by the information available to particular birds. Mitigations of the negative effects of human intrusions into natural environments must take account of the sensory ecology of the affected species. Effects of environmental changes cannot be understood sufficiently by viewing them through the filters of human sensory systems."

"Tesis ini mengungkap salah satu aspek penyusun atmosfer dalam arsitektur, yaitu quasi. Ide ini berawal dari problematika diskursus materialitas yang selalu berkutat pada form dan hardware dari arsitektur, namun masih sedikit yang berbicara mengenai aspek materialtas dan karakteristik ruang yang menghubungkan antara manusia dengan arsitektur. Quasi dalam atmosfer kemudian menjadi penting, sebab kehadiran quasi mampu menghadirkan arsitektur yang bersifat immaterial, amorphic, dan transcendental, yang mengubah material dan things dalam atmosfer menjadi Quasi-Material dan Quasi-Things. Kemampuan yang dimiliki oleh Quasi-Material dan Quasi-Things dapat dikembangkan menjadi sebuah Metode Desain Arsitektur yang menghubungkan arsitektur dengan manusia. Metode desain arsitektur dengan menggunakan Quasi-Material dan Quasi-Things dapat memindahkan fokus desain, dari atmosfer yang terbentuk secara accidental, menjadi intentional. Metode ini memberikan kebebasan pada arsitek untuk bereksplorasi dalam merancang atmosfer yang dituju tanpa harus memikirkan bentuk. Posisi form dalam metode ini adalah hasil dari rancangan atmosfer yang terbentuk dalam arsitektur. Melalui rangkaian eksperimen dan skenario alur lintasan matahari sebagai batasan desain, arsitektur yang dirancang dengan menggunakan metode Quasi-Material dan Quasi-Things mampu menghadirkan atmosfer yang terdesain untuk mempertahankan kualitas atmosfer ruangnya sehingga dapat memaksimalkan pengalaman sensori manusia.

This thesis unveils quasi as one of the components of atmospheres inside architecture. This idea emerges from problematical discourse in materiality, which likely talks about form and the hardware of architecture. However, the literature on aspects of materiality and spatial characteristics that connect humans with architecture is still less adequate. Quasi as the component of the atmosphere became important because the presence of quasi could project an immaterial, amorphic, and transcendental architecture that could turn material and things (in the atmosphere) into quasi-material and quasi-things. The capability of those quasi-material and quasi-things can be developed into architecture design methods that could connect the relationship between humans and architecture. Quasi-material and quasi-things as architecture design methods could shift the design focus from an accidental-formed atmosphere into an intentional-formed atmosphere. This method removes the architect’s circumscription to explore and design their own desired atmosphere without concern about form. This method makes form as a result of the atmospheric design that is formed in the architecture. Through several experiments and scenarios of the sun’s path as a design limitation, architecture designed using the quasi-material and quasi-things method is able to present a design atmosphere to maintain the quality of the spatial atmosphere and maximize the human sensory experience."

"Sebuah bangunan merepresentasikan dirinya melalui tampilan visual. Secara visual tampilan bangunan tak hanya dilihat dari bentuk saja, namun juga melalui permukaan bangunan terkait. Permukaan dipandang sebagai bagian yang memberikan ekspresi dalam memperlihatkan karakter dan identitas suatu bangunan, sehingga persepsi visual manusia terhadap bangunan akan terbentuk melalui permukaan. Kualitas permukaan suatu bangunan ditentukan oleh kualitas dari material pembangun, sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa permukaan merupakan representasi dari material. Skripsi ini ditulis bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana permukaan dapat menciptakan kualitas arsitektur, dan bagaimana material dapat menciptakan kualitas permukaan. Dari kajian teori serta studi preseden yang saya lakukan terlihat bahwa permukaan sangat berkaitan dengan sensori manusia, sensory design, dan material. Permukaan akan menstimulasi sensori manusia dalam mempersepsikan arsitektur melalui unsur-unsur sensory design. Persepsi yang diciptakan oleh permukaan, akan sangat dipengaruhi oleh material dari permukaan itu sendiri. Karena suatu material tertentu akan menciptakan kualitas permukaan yang spesifik, dan akan mempengaruhi manusia dalam mempersepsikan suatu bangunan.

A building represents itself through its visual appearance. However, appearance of a building not only represents its form, but also the surface. Surface is seen as a part which provides an expression in showing the character and identity of a building, so that the visual perception of the building will be formed through the surface. The surface quality of a building is determined by the quality of the building material, so it can be said that the surface is a representation of the material. This thesis is written to examine how surfaces can create architectural quality, and how materials can create surface quality. From the theoretical studies and the precedent studies, the surface is closely related to human sensory, sensory design, and materials. The surface will stimulate the human sensory in perceiving the architecture through the elements of sensory design. The perception created by the surface, will be greatly influenced by the material from the surface itself. Because a certain material will create a specific surface quality, and will affect humans in perceiving a building."

"Humans perceive their body posture, size, and position in space even when they do not look at their body. The ability to perceive the body correctly is essential to move accurately in space. The purpose of this review is to introduce the reader to the latest views on the role of peripheral afferent signals in the generation and alteration of perception of the body. First, the contribution of proprioceptive and cutaneous signals to perception of the body is introduced. Common methods to investigate these signals are muscle vibration, skin stretch, or electrical stimulation. These methods provide evidence that the perception of the body is flexible. Second, effects of multisensory integration on perception of the body are described. The combination of visual, tactile, proprioceptive, and auditory signals alter the perception of the body, suggesting that multiple sensory signals contribute to perception of the body. Third, the distortion of perception of the body after the loss of sensory signals is reviewed. Anesthesia or amputation of limbs, as well as experimentally-induced disintegration of sensory signals drastically alter the perception of the body. Fourth, neural mechanisms underlying the generation, or alteration, of perception of the body is described. The premotor and parietal cortices play a key role in perception of the body, as they are involved in multisensory integration. In the final section of the review, implications of the ways sensory information shapes perception of our body are discussed for athletic performance."
