Functions of the Brain A Conceptual Approach to Cognitive Neuroscience

Functions of the Brain A Conceptual Approach to Cognitive Neuroscience

Considering how computational properties of the brain inform cognitive functions this book presents a unique conceptual introduction to cognitive neuroscience. This essential guide explores the complex relationship between the mind and the brain building upon the authors’ extensive research in neural information processing and cognitive neuroscience to provide a comprehensive overview of the field. Rather than providing detailed descriptions of different cognitive processes Functions of the Brain: A Conceptual Approach to Cognitive Neuroscience focuses on how the brain functions using specific processes. Beginning with a brief history of early cognitive neuroscience research Kok goes on to discuss how information is represented and processed in the brain before considering the underlying functional organization of larger-scale brain networks involved in human cognition. The second half of the book addresses the architecture of important overlapping areas of cognition including attention and consciousness perception and action and memory and emotion.

The Ecological Brain Unifying the Sciences of Brain Body and Environment

The Ecological Brain Unifying the Sciences of Brain Body and Environment

The Ecological Brain is the first book of its kind using complexity science to integrate the seemingly disparate fields of ecological psychology and neuroscience. The book develops a unique framework for unifying investigations and explanations of mind that span brain body and environment: the NeuroEcological Nexus Theory (NExT). Beginning with an introduction to the history of the fields the author provides an assessment of why ecological psychology and neuroscience are commonly viewed as irreconcilable methods for investigating and explaining cognition intelligent behavior and the systems that realize them. The book then progresses to its central aim: presenting a unified investigative and explanatory framework offering concepts methods and theories applicable across neural and ecological scales of investigation. By combining the core principles of ecological psychology neural population dynamics and synergetics under a unified complexity science approach NExT offers a compressive investigative framework to explain and understand neural bodily and environmental contributions to perception-action and other forms of intelligent behavior and thought. The book progresses the conversation around the role of brains in ecological psychology as well as bodies and environments in neuroscience. It is essential reading for all students of ecological psychology perception cognitive sciences and neuroscience as well as anyone interested in the history and philosophy of the brain/mind sciences and their state-of-the-art methods and theories. | The Ecological Brain Unifying the Sciences of Brain Body and Environment

Evaluating the Brain Disease Model of Addiction

Evaluating the Brain Disease Model of Addiction

This ground-breaking book advances the fundamental debate about the nature of addiction. As well as presenting the case for seeing addiction as a brain disease it brings together all the most cogent and penetrating critiques of the brain disease model of addiction (BDMA) and the main grounds for being skeptical of BDMA claims. The idea that addiction is a brain disease dominates thinking and practice worldwide. However the editors of this book argue that our understanding of addiction is undergoing a revolutionary change from being considered a brain disease to a disorder of voluntary behavior. The resolution of this controversy will determine the future of scientific progress in understanding addiction together with necessary advances in treatment prevention and societal responses to addictive disorders. This volume brings together the various strands of the contemporary debate about whether or not addiction is best regarded as a brain disease. Contributors offer arguments for and against and reasons for uncertainty; they also propose novel alternatives to both brain disease and moral models of addiction. In addition to reprints of classic articles from the addiction research literature each section contains original chapters written by authorities on their chosen topic. The editors have assembled a stellar cast of chapter authors from a wide range of disciplines – neuroscience philosophy psychiatry psychology cognitive science sociology and law – including some of the most brilliant and influential voices in the field of addiction studies today. The result is a landmark volume in the study of addiction which will be essential reading for advanced students and researchers in addiction as well as professionals such as medical practitioners psychiatrists psychologists of all varieties and social workers. | Evaluating the Brain Disease Model of Addiction
