History of Cognitive Neuroscience Hardcover - 2008 - 1st Edition

by M. R. Bennett; P. M. Hacker


From the publisher

Die neurowissenschaftlichen Experimente der vergangenen eineinhalb Jahrhunderte werden einschlie lich der Stichhaltigkeit der von ihnen abgeleiteten Erkenntnisse dargestellt.

From the rear cover

In this companion work to the highly acclaimed Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience, the distinguished neurophysiologist M. R. Bennett and eminent philosopher P. M. S. Hacker return to the relationship between brain function and our psychological attributes. While their earlier work identified the troubling conceptual issues in contemporary neuroscience, History of Cognitive Neuroscience documents the history of the study of perception and sensation, attention and awareness, memory, emotion and linguistic powers. By studying the major experiments conducted by neuroscientists over the last century and a half and evaluating the validity of the conclusions that were drawn from them, this well-informed critique aims to challenge, provoke and illuminate neuroscientists, psychologists, philosophers and general readers alike.
