n-Dimensional Nonlinear Psychophysics

First published in 1992, this work compliments and extends the theory and results of nonlinear psychophysics - an original approach created by the author. It breaks with the traditional mathematics used in the experimental psychology of sensation and draws on what is popularly known as chaos theory and its extension into neural networks.
