A new edition of the essential resource on using functional
neuroimaging techniques to study the neural basis of cognition,
revised with the student in mind; thoroughly updated, with new
chapters on fMRI physics, skill learning, emotion and social
cognition, and other topics. This essential resource on
neuroimaging provides an accessible and user-friendly introduction
to the field written by leading researchers. The book describes
theoretical and methodological developments in the use of
functional neuroimaging techniques to study the neural basis of
cognition, from early scientific efforts to link brain and behavior
to the latest applications of fMRI and PET methods. The core of the
book covers fMRI and PET studies in specific domains: attention,
skill learning, semantic memory, language, episodic memory, working
memory, and executive functions. By introducing a technique within
the description of a domain, the book offers a clear explanation of
the process while highlighting its biological context. The emphasis
on readability makes Handbook of Functional Neuroimaging of
Cognition ideal for classroom use in advanced undergraduate and
graduate courses in cognitive neuroscience. This second edition has
been completely updated to reflect new developments in the field,
with existing chapters rewritten and new chapters added to each
section. The section on history and methods now includes a chapter
on the crucial topic of the physics of functional neuroimaging; the
chapters on skill learning and executive functions are new to the
domain section; and chapters on childhood development and emotion
and social cognition have been added to the section on
developmental, social, and clinical applications. The color insert
has been increased in size, enhancing the visual display of
representative findings. Contributors Todd S. Braver, Jeffrey
