What can't neuroscience tell us about ourselves? Since fMRI--functional magnetic resonance imaging--was introduced in the early 1990s, brain scans have been used to help politicians understand and manipulate voters, determine guilt in court cases, and make sense of everything fr…
Bennett and Hacker document the major neuroscientific experiments and theories over the last century and a half in the domain of cognitive neuroscience, and evaluate the cogency of the conclusions that have been drawn from them. They also address philosophical criticism of their…
The audacious effort to map the brain--and along with it our mental afflictions, from autism to schizophrenia--by a rising star in neuroscience.
"A breathtaking look at the new science that can track consciousness deep in the brain How does our brain generate a conscious thought? And why does so much of our knowledge remain unconscious? Thanks to clever psychological and brain-imaging experiments, scientists are closer t…
Om hvordan hjernen udvikles i barndommen og muliggør udviklingen af hukommelse, indlæring og kognition. Om hvordan hjernen påvirkes af alt fra gener til stress, fysisk aktivitet og nære relationer. Hvordan nedsat arbejdshukommelse ligger bag indlæringsproblemer, og hvordan kan m…
