Her research findings have been published in leading journals, including Science. Banich uses brain imaging techniques to understand the neural systems that enable us to direct actions and thoughts in a goal-oriented manner, often referred to as executive function. Now the most interesting scientific topic of our time has a textbook that conveys the excitement of learning how the brain enables the mind.' William Sturgill, Rockhurst University, Missouri
#Cognitive neuroscience banich 3rd edition update
'The fourth edition of Cognitive Neuroscience is an incredibly thorough update with virtually all chapters rewritten and updated with new figures and tables. A great resource for anyone who wants to learn about the brain!' Sabine Kastner, Princeton University, New Jersey The focus on translating neuroscience knowledge to clinical and societal issues is timely and sets the book apart. 'An excellent introduction to the field of cognitive neuroscience - comprehensive, insightful and well written. The engaging examples will readily captivate new scholars.' Rachael D. Cognitive Neuroscience details the impressive array of neuroimaging techniques available today and current findings ranging from motor control and sensation to higher level visual processes, learning and memory, executive functions and emotion. 'Banich and Compton provide an updated text with unprecedented breadth and depth. The result is a compelling introduction to the field.' David Badre, Brown University, Rhode Island This new edition builds on the considerable strengths of prior editions, exposing students to a range of cutting edge science in accessible prose.
'Banich and Compton provide a broad, current, and accessible introduction to the mind and brain in Cognitive Neuroscience. 'The unique voice, organization, and interesting content make the book relevant and engaging to undergraduate and graduate students alike.' Rebecca Silton, Loyola University, Chicago Reed, Claremont McKenna College, California 'Banich and Compton are the best of the bunch for helping students understand the science behind the studies.' Catherine L. 'This is simply the cornerstone text in the field of cognitive neuroscience very thorough and complete, a great overview.' Penny Seymoure, Carthage College, Wisconsin 'Banich and Compton's writing is very accessible to any reader, sophisticated but not overwhelming, and their use of illustrations, examples and cases add greatly to the instructional value.' Gretchen Reeves, Eastern Michigan University An expanded online package includes a test bank. A new chapter on neuroscience and society considers how cognitive neuroscience issues relate to the law, education, and ethics, highlighting the clinical and real-world relevance. Students are encouraged to develop the critical thinking skills that will enable them to evaluate future developments in this fast-moving field. In addition, analogies and examples within the text, opening case studies, and 'In Focus' boxes engage students and demonstrate the relevance of the material to real-world concerns. Clinical applications such as developmental disorders, brain injuries and dementias are highlighted. Written by two experienced teachers, the consistent narrative ensures that students link concepts across chapters, and the careful selection of topics enables them to grasp the big picture without getting distracted by details.
