Encyclopedia of Neuroimaging: Volume I (Cognitive Neuroscience)
Author: Miles Scott
ISBN/ASIN: 1632411822
The cognitive neurosciences of neuroimaging are described in this all-inclusive book. The rate of technological advancement is stimulating increasingly comprehensive lines of enquiry in cognitive neuroscience, which displays no sign of slowing down in the distant future. However, it is unlikely that even the most powerful advocates of the cognitive neuroscience approach would maintain that developments in cognitive theory have kept in step with techniques-based advancements. There are numerous reasons for the failure of neuroimaging studies to satisfactorily resolve a number of most significant theoretical debates in the literature. For example, a crucial proportion of published functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies are not well explained in cognitive theory, and this depicts a step away from the conventional approach in experimental psychology of systematically and technically building on (or chipping away at) present theoretical models using authentic methodologies. Unless, the experimental analysis design is set up within a vividly outlined theoretical framework, any inferences that are drawn are unlikely to be accepted as anything other than analytical. The book includes excellent research chapters on images of the cognitive brain across age and culture, functional and structural magnetic resonance, neuroimaging and outcome assessments, and cognitive and psychological functions of sleep.
