Reviews

From the reviews:“The editors did an excellent job of integrating the chapters and allowing information from one part to build on the others. … Discussions provided by the authors in each of the chapters allow the reader to gain a good sense of the research results as well as identify potential directions for future research. … Certainly a number of cognitive and neuropsychologists would have an interest in some of the details provided regarding brain mechanisms and neural pathways involved in multisensory processing.” (David J. Schroeder, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 58 (25), June, 2013)“This book examines the importance of better understanding social interactions with information from both the face and voice, along with nonverbal cues from the person’s identity and emotional state. … researchers in cognitive science would benefit the most. … This excellent book covers a lot of ground as it discusses identity and affective information along with impairment issues. Researchers and clinicians with a background in neuroscience will appreciate this book.” (Gary B. Kaniuk, Doody’s Book Reviews, January, 2013)
