Clothing Biosensory Engineering is a systematic and integrative way of translating consumers' biological and sensory responses, and psychological feelings and preferences about clothing into the perceptual elements of design.

Features:

• Links between scientific experimentation and commercial application to develop economic solutions to practical technical problems
• Quantifies the decision-making processes through which physics, mathematics, neurophysiological and engineering techniques are applied to optimally convert resources to meet various sensory requirements
• Includes theoretical and experimental observations, computer simulations, test methods, illustrations, and examples of actual product development
