The Sage Handbook of Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience Multiple-component retail product

Cognitive neuroscience is the interdisciplinary study of how cognitive and intellectual functions are processed and represented within the brain, which is critical to building understanding of core psychological and behavioural processes such as learning, memory, behaviour, perception, and consciousness.

Understanding these processes not only offers relevant fundamental insights into brain-behavioural relations, but may also lead to actionable knowledge that can be applied in the clinical treatment of patients with various brain-related disabilities. The first volume of this two-volume set focusses on the foundational principles, methods, and underlying systems in cognitive and systems neuroscience, as well as exploring cutting-edge methodological advances and innovations.

The second volume examines complex cognitive systems through the lens of neuroscience, as well as providing an overview of development and applications within research and real-world contexts. Containing 69 original, state of the art contributions from leading experts in the field, this Handbook is essential reading for researchers and students of cognitive psychology, as well as scholars across the fields of neuroscientific, behavioural and health sciences.
