This edited collection presents seven recent studies in
contemporary cognitive neuroscience which have come to be viewed as
classic experiments. The contributing authors are renowned in their
field for producing intelligent and innovative research, and
together they cover each of the main sub-disciplines of cognitive
neuroscience.
As well as the original study, and a description of the
methodology and results, each chapter includes a personal
commentary by the author of the study in which they share unique
insights into the genesis of the idea, the 'how to' of carrying out
scientific research and a summary of the most important results. In
addition, leading figures discuss the impact of the study, how it
advanced research in the area and the influence it has had on their
own and others' experimental designs and research activities.
By illustrating the scope for creativity that exists in the
process of experimental design, the authors encourage you to
innovate and design creative approaches to experiments that address
major theoretical issues or solve specific problems.
This is important reading for students of psychology and
cognitive neuroscience.
