Biological Vision: A 21st Century Tutorial published in 2003 by Trafford.
The on-line version is updated continuously.

A guide to the much larger work, "Processes in Biological Vision" available on the Internet at www.sightresearch.net. This work provides the first comprehensive description of the visual modality and the operation of the individual mechanisms involved.

Hearing: A 21st Century Paradigm published in 2008 by Trafford.
The on-line version is updated continuously.

A full text (8 Chapters) providing a comprehensive description of the contiguous hearing modality for the first time. It includes the first definitive description of the mechanisms operating within the Organ of Corti. Additional background on this work (Chapters 9-11 covering performance and abnormalities as well as 6 Appendices) is available at www.hearingresearch.net.

The Neuron and Neural System published on-line in 2011 and updated continuously.

A comprehensive text (20 Chapters) on the sensory neural system including the details related to the operation of the gustatory (taste, Section 8.5), olfactory (smell, Section 8.6) and somatosensory modalities (feel, Section 8.7).
