Originally published in 1978, this book develops a conceptual
synthesis of the field of physiological psychology, the science
specifically concerned with the relationship between the brain and
the mind. It was designed to elucidate the important questions
under investigation, the basic intellectual and technical problems
that were encountered, and the significance of the major empirical
results of the time. Of equal or even greater importance is the
author's derivation of the general principles relating brain and
mind that had emerged after decades of modern research into this
important question. Included in the volume are historical and
philosophical perspectives on the mind-brain problem as well as
extensive discussions of instruments, methodology, empirical
findings and theory. Here is a powerful heuristic tool that informs
the reader about the concepts and ideas implicit in this science
rather than simply exhaustively listing experimental results. The
author does not ignore findings; he organizes them into three broad
categories - localization; representation, and learning - then
emphasizes the relationships among experiments. This is a book that
synthesizes, integrates, and stresses concepts, principles and
problems. The careful organization of the book makes it especially
useful for students of brain and mind at all levels.
