Measurements With Persons: Theory, Methods and Implementation Areas

 

 

Following the successful MINET training course in 2008, a book is being written that will cover a similar range and depth of interdisciplinary subjects relevant to the Measuring the Impossible research area: “Measurements with Persons: Theory, Methods and Implementation Areas”.

The main aim of the book is to give scientists the opportunity to widen their background knowledge and prepare themselves for the interdisciplinary problems typical of Measuring the Impossible topics.

A tentative outline of the book chapters is shown below.

1. Measurement across physical and behavioural sciences
2. Measurement in psychology
3. Measurements of physical parameters in sensory physics
4. Measurement in behavioural and social science
5. Applications of measurement theory
6. Towards a probabilistic theory of measurement
7. Experimental and quasi experimental methods
8. Multivariate measurements
9. Towards a theory of identification with infinite dimensional pattern spaces
10. The idea that launched a thousand experiments reconsidered
11. Foundations of universal Fechnerian scaling
12. Neural networks and fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic
13. Measuring and reconstructing multiscale dynamics
14. Psychological measurement for sound description and evaluation
15. Skin senses and haptic perception
16. Smell, food and taste
17. Visual perception
18. Functional brain imaging
19. Body language
20. Emotions
21. Risk assessment and decision making
