Student's Guide to Cognitive Neuroscience

Very clearly written and accessible introduction to the key theories, methods and procedures of cognitive neuroscience; authored by a leading researcher in the field and valuable as a core text for undergraduate modules on cognitive neuroscience, cognitive neuropsychology, biopsychology or brain and behaviour and also as a reference text for researchers. Fully updated for the fourth edition to include new coverage of the impact of genetics on cognition, the cutting-edge field of connectomics and the latest research tools including tES and fNIRS and new methodologies such as multi-voxel pattern analysis in fMRI research. Additional content is also included on network versus modular approaches, brain mechanisms of hand-eye coordination, neurobiological models of speech perception and production, and recent models of anterior cingulate function. Each chapter also includes summaries of key terms, sample essay questions, recommended further reading and feature boxes exploring popular questions.
