This is the frontmatter record for the binary source
`proctor-proctor-2021-sensation-and-perception.pdf` (the PDF cannot carry
frontmatter inline). The PDF holds the verbatim source text.

- **In:** Salvendy, G. & Karwowski, W. (eds.) *Handbook of Human Factors and
  Ergonomics*, 5th edition. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons. Part 2 (Human
  Factors Fundamentals), Chapter 3, pp. 57–92.
- **Authors' affiliation:** Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana.
- **Coverage:** methods for investigating sensation and perception
  (anatomical/physiological and psychophysical, including classical thresholds,
  signal detection theory, and psychophysical scaling); sensory systems
  (vision, audition, vestibular, somatosensory, gustation and olfaction);
  higher-level perception (perceptual organisation, spatial orientation and
  depth, eye movements and motion perception, pattern recognition).
- **Routing note:** ingested via the shared `RAW/_INBOX`; routed to
  human-centered-design-kb as the primary owner (cognitive foundations). The
  vision, eye-movement, and visual-attention material is also relevant to
  eye-tracking-research-kb, which should link to this source rather than
  duplicate it.
