Summary
Frontiers in Cognitive Neuroscienceprovides students and researchers entering the field of cognitive neuroscience with a foundation for examining how brain function gives rise to mental activities such as perception, memory, and language. The 55 readings are grouped in sections that cover attention, vision, auditory and somatosensory systems, memory, and higher cortical functions.
