This book gives a comprehensive synopsis of the present knowledge about the neural mechanisms of thinking. The contributors, all of them respected leading experts in their field, cover the most relevant aspects in a concise and readable fashion. Therefore, this volume provides an update of the state-of-the art, the potentials, but also the limitations of current imaging techniques in thinking processes in humans. By doing so, also basic conceptual, methodological and philosophical challenges in the attempt to correlate brain activity with specific cognitive processes are being addressed. This book will be a valuable companion for everyone interested in one of the most fascinating subjects of cognitive neuroscience. |
