Experts discuss the wide variety of investigative tools available
to cognitive neuroscience, including transcranial magnetic
stimulation, neuroscience computation, fMRI, imaging genetics, and
neuropharmacology, with particular emphasis on convergence of
techniques and innovative uses. The evolution of cognitive
neuroscience has been spurred by the development of increasingly
sophisticated investigative techniques to study human cognition. In
Methods in Mind, experts examine the wide variety of tools
available to cognitive neuroscientists, paying particular attention
to the ways in which different methods can be integrated to
strengthen empirical findings and how innovative uses for
established techniques can be developed. The book will be a
uniquely valuable resource for the researcher seeking to expand his
or her repertoire of investigative techniques. Each chapter
explores a different approach. These include transcranial magnetic
stimulation, cognitive neuropsychiatry, lesion studies in nonhuman
primates, computational modeling, psychophysiology, single neurons
and primate behavior, grid computing, eye movements, fMRI,
electroencephalography, imaging genetics, magnetoencephalography,
neuropharmacology, and neuroendocrinology. As mandated, authors
focus on convergence and innovation in their fields; chapters
highlight such cross-method innovations as the use of the fMRI
signal to constrain magnetoencephalography, the use of
electroencephalography (EEG) to guide rapid transcranial magnetic
stimulation at a specific frequency, and the successful integration
of neuroimaging and genetic analysis. Computational approaches
depend on increased computing power, and one chapter describes the
use of distributed or grid computing to analyze massive datasets in
cyberspace. Each chapter author is a leading authority in the
technique discussed. Contributors: Peyman Adjamian, Peter A.
