Making Space

Making Space explains the complex neural processes by which the brain determines where things are in space.

Jennifer Groh describes how sensory inputs such as light, sound, and pressure are measured and integrated by the brain to navigate three-dimensional space.

The book also argues that spatial processing underlies many cognitive functions, including memory and reasoning.

It covers how the brain locates sounds by detecting minute timing differences between ears and how balance organs contribute to body posture awareness.

The book highlights the brain's remarkable ability to use spatial representations to aid memory recall and cognitive tasks, revealing powers of spatial cognition previously unrecognized.
