Practical book Mar 25, 2003
By Carlos Camara
"marrorris2"
There are certainly more recent and more comprehensive and complete collections of papers of cognitive neuroscience (notably The New Cognitive Neuroscience, by Gaazaniga), but I recomend this book for a couple of reasons; the chapter are really well written, with the exeption of attention and posibly development, all major issues are covered, there are chapters on cortical neural computation theory, which is a rare and often omited topic, and most importantly because this is a practical, 300+ pages book that one can actually carry appart from reading it as well, unlike other 1200 page monsters. Granted, if one must be thorough, this book will not be enough, but it would be a good choice for say those casually interested in the topic
(but preferably last year undergraduate level readers), or philosophers who need the background, or psychologists. Great book.
