The world of perception is multisensory. Even a simple task such as judging the position of a light in a dark room depends not only on vision but also on sensory signals about the position of our body in space. Likewise, how we experience food depends on sensory signals originating from the mouth, but also from nose signals, and even vision and hearing. However, traditional books on perception still discuss each of the "senses" separately. This book takes a different stance: it defines perception as intrinsically multisensory from the start and examines multisensory interactions as key process behind how we perceive our own body, control its movements, perceive and recognise objects, respond to edible objects, perceive space, and perceive time. In addition, the book discusses multisensory processing in synaesthesia, multisensory attention, and the role of multisensory processing in learning. As an introduction to multisensory perception, this book is essential reading for students in psychology, philosophy, and neuroscience at the advanced undergraduate to postgraduate levels. As the chapters address topics that are often left out of standard textbooks, this book will also serve as a useful reference for specialist perception scientists and clinicians. Finally, as a monograph understandable to the educated non-specialist this book will also be of interest to professionals who need to take into account multisensory processing in domains such as, for instance, physiotherapy, neurological rehabilitation, human-computer interfaces, marketing, or the design of products and services.
The Jell-O box and the atom bomb
A 30-year-old, Indian builder, Pakkirappa Hunagundi is addicted to eating bricks, mud and gravel. He became so addicted to eating non-edible objects after he first developed the acquired taste at the age of 10. For 20 years he has consumed up to three kilos of debris a day, including mud and gravel, he finds lying around his village in Karnataka. But despite his strange eating disorder - thought to be caused by a condition called Pica - Pakkirappa insists he hasn't suffered any ill-effects. And he wants to use his strange eating habits to make some money for his family by travelling across India showcasing his talents. MirrorUK reports that the oddball eater causally chews on freshly baked bricks he finds scattered around his village. And he uses nothing more than a glass of water to help digest the building material which he says tastes "A1" - an Indian term meaning the best. Fussy eater Pakkirappa said: "I love eating them. It has become a part of my life. I started at the age of 10. Now it feels like a necessity to me. I can skip meals, but not bricks or mud. I have suffered no side effects. My teeth are absolutely fine. I can bite into the hardest stone without a problem."

...there's Fun! Well, who knew? I assume Squirt was just fizzy lemonade, like 7-up. As if a soft drink called Squirt wasn't marvellous enough, they even have their own recipes for such delights as a 'Squirt-Kebab' or a 'Squirticle'. I think this barbecue recipe leaflet dates from around 1959. Being about barbecues, it was written for men, including 'Falling-off-a-log Punch', which is "especially easy, because you get your wife to do it!". Hmmm, I think that little Squirt better watch out what his wife does with that melon baller....

Good news parents! You can start teaching your little ones about God using easy, fun & edible experiments! These lessions bring the Gospel & science together.
Animals and plants—or nature in general—have always been a huge inspiration to many artists across the world. But have any of us ever tried to imagine what these subjects would look like when combined? Well, a creative French agency called Les Creatonautes has been quite busy doing just that. This past year they have created a series of digital collages that combine sporting goods, animals, and edible objects all into one, and here’s the result.

We've been having so much fun AND learning a ton in math lately by using repeated addition to find the total number of objects in an addition array. It's taken us a while to get to this point, but the hard work has paid off. Read on for several FREE activities: We first learned how to partition rectangles. Click on the picture below to get this introduction activity for free! We practiced partitioning rectangles (and circles) with two centers that are included in this product. Click on the picture and download the preview to get the Rectangular Arrays center for free! After that, we watched a short video on Learn Zillion that introduced using repeated addition to find the total number of objects in an array. If you're not familiar with the AMAZING website, you need to be -- it will become your BEST FRIEND. Learn Zillion is a FREE website that hires teachers to create short videos and lesson plans for EACH Common Core Standard for ELA and Math, from grades K-12. In addition to that, they have resources available for parents. I love this website because they have short video clips that I can show my students that teach each standard (plus it helps me learn other ways to teach and explain the standards). Check it out and share it with your teacher friends. Click here to be taken to Learn Zillion. Now it was time to incorporate FOOD! I told students to write the following: Then they drew lines for the rows and columns (this tied directly to the 4-minute video we watched from Learn Zillion) First the rows. Then the columns. Next we drew dots where the row and column lines intersected. This helped the students to visualize where they'd need to place the Cheerios. It was finally time to arrange the Cheerios into an array. Now I required students to write a number sentence, using repeated addition, to find the sum of the Cheerios used in the addition array. This equation matches the rows... and the second one matches the columns. We practiced and reviewed these steps several times. When they were ready to move on, I challenged them to create the array WITHOUT using the line. Surprisingly, they did great! I think all the practice and baby steps leading up to this helped a lot. And since it was St. Patrick's Day on Monday, we had to incorporate some Lucky Charms. Every time my students correctly made an array with their cereal, I let them eat all the pieces of cereal used. They ended up having a ton of fun, we accidentally went 10 minutes into recess and they were totally fine with it. Click here to download the following worksheet using stickers to create addition arrays. I'm going to pass this out for homework in a few days. worksheet border provided by: Krista Wallden worksheet font provided by: Wizard of Boz Create-Abilities has a FREE assessment on TpT. Check it out! How do you teach using addition to find the total number of objects in an array? I'd love to hear about the activities you do in your classroom.
