"An excellent set of readings." Professor Tim Shallice, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College, London
From the Back Cover
Cognitive Neuroscience: A Reader provides the first definitive collection of readings in this burgeoning area of study. Michael S. Gazzaniga has brought together papers ranging from the earliest articles discussing brain plasticity through to papers recently published in the area of executive functioning.
The Reader is divided into distinct sections such as the History of Cognitive Neuroscience, Methods, Language and Unconscious Processing. Each of these sections contain four or five representative articles by eminent researchers that illustrate important methodological, empirical and theoretical issues. The sections are both introduced and contextualized by the author, and a selection of further reading is also provided.
Cognitive Neuroscience: A Reader will give professors not only a comprehensive reference volume for their own use, but also an ideal text to recommend to students.

Cognitive Neuroscience,
By nanako watanabe (Tokyo,Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cognitive Neuroscience: A Reader (Hardcover)
This book is recommended especially to the biginners of this field, The illustrations cited are very beautiful and easy to understand,making it possible to read through whthin relatively a short period. Yet the basics of cognitive neuroscience are fully covered,so for those who want to overview the history of this field,or to start studing and designing some experiments in this area should surely find this book usable.
