Announcing "Cognition, Brain, and Consciousness - Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience" by Bernard Baars and Nicole M. Gage (Eds.), a new introductory textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, neuroscience and related fields.
"This is a wonderful, unique textbook, in the form of an edited volume, that makes the field of cognitive neuroscience come alive. It strikes an excellent balance between three interlocking frontiers: behavioral evidence on cognitive processes; neural evidence from brain research, neurology, and neuroimaging; and philosophical responses to this research, pointing out its implications for human consciousness and subjective experience."
--- Nelson Cowan, University of Missouri, Department of Psychology.
"Masterfully organized and comprehensive in its coverage, this textbook will surely be THE introduction to cognitive neuroscience. The contributing authors are highly accomplished experts, and details are deftly selected to illustrate principles as well as to launch the curious reader into the exciting but vast realm of the nervous system. Anatomy, sometimes the bane of introductions to the brain, is gracefully interwoven on a need-to-know basis."
--- Patricia Churchland, University of California, San Diego
"Comprehensive, authoritative and beautifully illustrated, this is a superb introduction to cognitive neuroscience. It is ideally suited as a text to accompany an undergraduate or graduate course. The depth and sophistication of its treatment of key topics make it more than a mere introductory text, though, and it can be read with profit by all with an interest in how the brain supports cognition, whether student or established researcher."
--- Michael D. Rugg, University of California, Irvine, USA
