Full Description
This work reveals discoveries being made about the brain processes behind our everyday cognitive functions, such as vision, memory, and attention. Presenting the work of world leaders in cognitive neuroscience, the book shows the amazing advances being made into understanding the neuronal processes that enable us to look, learn, make decisions, and understand the world around us.
