- Cognitive neuroscience is the fastest growing and most heavily funded area of psychology
- A comprehensive textbook integrating research from human and animal brain research
- Accessible for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates
- A state of the art account of our current knowledge of brain mechanisms of cognitive functions
Cognitive neuroscience has been the most productive, and arguably the most exciting area of growth in psychology and neuroscience over recent years, with remarkable insights into the brain mechanisms of cognitive abilities being gained from studies of both animals and humans. Johan Bolhuis has brought together a stellar list of contributors, including, amongst others, Patrick Bateson, Lawrence Weiskrantz, Robert Hinde, Eric Kandel, Mark Johnson, and James McGaugh to provide a truly authoritative and comprehensive overview of our current knowledge of the essential neural mechanisms of perception, learning, and memory.
Written to be accessible to advanced undergraduates, and postgraduates, the book describes the latest advances in the most important fields of cognitive neuroscience. Brain, Perception, Memory will be an invaluable reference work and textbook for advanced students and researchers in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and animal behaviour.Readership: Advance undergraduates and postgraduate in psychology, neuroscience, and animal behaviour. An increasing number of Masters degrees now focus on Cognitive Neuroscience - this book would be ideally suited to such courses.

""There is no doubt that postgraduate students and researchers in cognitive neuroscience will find this book to be a useful tool and I would not hesitate to recommend it . . . The relatively short length of the essays and their overview of current research, make them ideal reading material for more advanced researchers . . . The book therefore serves as an ideal starting place for cognitive psychologists who want to know more about cognitive neuroscience."" - Applied Cognitive Psychology, 16
