History of Cognitive Neuroscience

15Die neurowissenschaftlichen Experimente der vergangenen eineinhalb Jahrhunderte werden einschließlich der Stichhaltigkeit der von ihnen abgeleiteten Erkenntnisse dargestellt.07This genuinely interdisciplinary work documents the history of the study of consciousness and examines how thinking about this topic has evolved, from Aristotle to Penfield. By studying the experiments that have given rise to popular jargon on the relationship between brain function and psychological attributes, this well-informed critique aims to challenge, provoke and illuminate neuroscientists, psychologists, philosophers and general readers alike.16In this companion work to the highly acclaimed Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience, the distinguished neurophysiologist M. R. Bennett and eminent philosopher P. M. S. Hacker return to the relationship between brain function and our psychological attributes. While their earlier work identified the troubling conceptual issues in contemporary neuroscience, History of Cognitive Neuroscience documents the history of the study of perception and sensation, attention and awareness, memory, emotion and linguistic powers. By studying the major experiments conducted by neuroscientists over the last century and a half and evaluating the validity of the conclusions that were drawn from them, this well-informed critique aims to challenge, provoke and illuminate neuroscientists, psychologists, philosophers and general readers alike.04Cognitive Neuroscience: A Conceptual Analysis..Introduction.1.
