Pressestimmen
" Mind and Brain presents the reader with a remarkably complete and clear understanding of cognitive neuroscience as a field. With the inclusion of topic-specific philosophy, history, and research, the chapters serve a particularly effective foundation function for those planning neuroscience research or preparing grant projects and/or research reports. This book should be required reading for both research neuroscientists and instructors whose goal is to provide the clearest and most current understanding of the neuro-, cognitive, and behavioral sciences. It is exceptional."--Steven Schandler, Professor of Psychology and Director, Addiction Research and Cognitive Psychophysiology Laboratories, Chapman University -- Steven Schandler
Kurzbeschreibung
Cognitive neuroscience explores the relationship between our minds and our brains, most recently by drawing on brain imaging techniques to align neural mechanisms with psychological processes. In Mind and Brain, William Uttal offers a critical review of cognitive neuroscience, examining both its history and modern developments in the field. He pays particular attention to the role of brain imaging--especially functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)--in studying the mind-brain relationship. He argues that, despite the explosive growth of this new mode of research, there has been more hyperbole than critical analysis of what experimental outcomes really mean. With Mind and Brain, Uttal attempts a synoptic synthesis of this substantial body of scientific literature. After an introductory discussion, he turns to his main theme: what neuroscience and psychology have contributed to each other. He considers specific empirical findings in such fields as sensation, perception, emotion and affect, learning and memory, and consciousness. For each field, he considers psychological and behavioral concerns that can help guide the neuroscienctific discussion; work done before the advent of imaging systems; and what brain imaging has brought to recent research. Cognitive neuroscience, Uttal argues, is truly both cognitive and neuroscientific. Both approaches are necessary and neither is sufficient to make sense of the greatest scientific issue of all: how the brain makes the mind.

Something to really, really, really think about.
14. März 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Since no one has reviewed this, I will. As a retired engineer who was constantly in managements hair objecting to the snap judgements made on new developments supported too often by management's eye firmly on performance bonuses, I highly recommend this for all who prefer hard questioning of scientific results to easy endorsements.
I give it five stars because it prompted me to move out of a comfort zone developed by reading too many positive views of a singular nature and not enough critical comparisons.
Since much of the scientific discussion is over my head, the numerous citations have prompted me to expand my knowledge.
It seems to me the mind-brain problem could be the next scientific frontier (a view I held before reading Uttal who holds it as well).
