About this book
Fundamentals of Cognitive Neuroscience A Beginner's Guide 2nd edition by Nicole M. Gage and Bernard J. Baars introduces the relationship between brain activity and cognition in a format designed for students beginning formal study of cognitive neuroscience. The book explains how researchers investigate the neural processes involved in perception, language, memory, attention, emotion, decision making, social behavior, and consciousness while building familiarity with brain anatomy and neuroscience terminology.
The 2nd edition covers the functional organization of the brain, methods for observing brain activity, visual processing, sound and music perception, speech, language and thought, learning and memory, attention and consciousness, decisions and goal directed actions, and social cognition. Additional chapters examine emotion, sleep and levels of consciousness, disorders of consciousness, and brain development, with research findings and brain images used to connect cognitive functions with neural systems.
The book is intended primarily for advanced undergraduate and lower level graduate students studying neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, and related disciplines in which cognitive neuroscience is taught. It is particularly useful for students who need an accessible introduction to brain structure, experimental methods, cognitive functions, and the interpretation of findings from contemporary neuroscience research.
Cognitive neuroscience students, psychology students, neuroscience students, cognitive science students, and graduate trainees can use this edition to connect mental processes with specific brain systems, interpret neuroscience research, and review major cognitive functions in an organized framework. The 2018 2nd edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access for coursework, research preparation, exam study, and deeper exploration of mind and brain science.
