According to the decomposition thesis, perceptual experiences resolve without remainder into their different modality-specific components. Contrary to this view, I argue that certain cases of multisensory integration give rise to... more
The dynamism and complexity associated with the notion of place can be understood from the linguistic multiplicity of the word itself. The word place has dynamic as well as static connotations. It is an image as well as spatio-temporal... more
In this article the problem of perception is highlighted from a philosophical, physiological and psychological point of view. The essay (second update) is followed by a list of publications, journals and websites about perception. The... more
This work examines the commentary of Alexander of Aphrodisias on Aristotle's De Sensu concentrating on Alexander's own physiology of perception and his attack on the atomists' theory. Alexander wrongly reads into the text an attempt to... more
Many researchers have proposed that the near space immediately surrounding the body is represented differently than more distant space. Indeed, it has often been suggested that near space encompasses that within arm's reach. The present... more
I defend Kant's view that the perceptual representation of space is pre-modal: that (contrary to Molyneux) it is common to all of the modalities, and that it is part of the form of perceptual representation, not learned from it. This is... more

Traditionally, the right cerebral hemisphere has been considered to be specialized for spatial attention and orienting. A large body of research has demonstrated dissociable representations of the near space immediately surrounding the... more
Das studentische Kolloquium diente der inhaltlichen Annäherung an den Themenkomplex der gleichnamigen Tagung "Zeit-Raum-Identität".
Much evidence suggests that common posterior parietal mechanisms underlie the orientation of attention in physical space and along the mental number line. For example, the small leftward bias (pseudoneglect) found in paper-and-pencil line... more

Objects on a collision course with an observer produce a specific pattern of optical expansion on the retina known as looming, which in theory exactly specifies the time-to-collision (TTC) of approaching objects. It was recently... more

The interaction between people and built environment has been examined in the field of architectural psychology since the 1960s. In this field, “spaciousness” has been one of the most significant concepts which have been frequently... more
This study aims to determine if, in children, subjective perception of space is modulated by the experience of reaching distal objects by means of tools and verbal labels. We presented 7–15-year-old participants with objects located in... more
The distinction between near space and the space farther away has been well established, as has the relation of this distinction to arm length. Recent studies provide evidence for the plasticity of near space, showing that it is possible... more
Architecture is an element or a form of space that constantly and continuously connects people, creating a relation between a particular space and its user. Whilst an individual needs to communicate with a space, a space should evoke a... more
Neglect patients’ performance during cancellation tasks is characterized by left sided omissions and, in many cases, by the production of inappropriate material of various kinds in the ipsilesional space, e.g. additional marks over... more
