About the Author

Romi Nijhawan is a Reader in Psychology at the University of Sussex, UK. In 1994 he introduced the phenomenon and the term 'flash-lag effect'. He continues to study its implications for the interaction of the animal with the environment. Beena Khurana is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Sussex, UK. She is committed to the effective communication of science and has been honoured with a Lilly Teaching Fellowship at Cornell University and an Associated Students of CalTech Teaching Award at the California Institute of Technology.

Reviews

"... the book may serve as a useful introduction for those interested in this area. Although hardly easy reading, motivated readers will find rich food for thought.
