This book provides a state-of-the-art review of high-level vision
and the brain. Topics covered include object representation and
recognition, category-specific visual knowledge, perceptual
processes in reading, top-down processes in vision -- including
attention and mental imagery -- and the relations between vision
and conscious awareness. Each chapter includes a tutorial overview
emphasizing the current state of knowledge and outstanding
theoretical issues in the authors' area of research, along with a
more in-depth report of an illustrative research project in the
same area.
The editors and contributors to this volume are among the most
respected figures in the field of neuropsychology and perception,
making the work presented here a standard-setting text and
reference in that area.
Neuroethics is concerned with the wide array of ethical, legal and
social issues that are raised in research and practice. The field
has grown rapidly over the last five years, becoming an active
interdisciplinary research area involving a much larger set of
academic fields and professions, including law, developmental
psychology, neuropsychiatry, and the military.
Neuroethics and Practice helps to define and foster this emerging
area at the intersection of neuroethics and clinical neuroscience,
which includes neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry and their
pediatric subspecialties, as well as neurorehabiliation, clinical
neuropsychology, clinical bioethics, and the myriad other clinical
specialties (including nursing and geriatrics) in which
practitioners grapple with issues of mind and brain. Chatterjee and
Farah have brought together leading neuroethicists working in
clinically relevant areas to contribute chapters on an
intellectually fascinating and clinically important set of
neuroethical topics, involving brain enhancements, brain imaging,
competence and responsibility, severe brain damage, and
consequences of new neurotechnologies. Although this book will be
of direct interest to clinicians, as the first edited volume to
provide an overall comprehensive perspective on neurethics across
disciplines, it is also a unique and useful resource for a wide
range of other scholars and students interested in ethics and
neuroscience.
