Inhalt: History of Cognitive Neuroscience documents the major neuroscientific experiments and theories over the last century and a half in the domain of cognitive neuroscience, and evaluates the cogency of the conclusions that have been drawn from them. Provides a companion work to the highly acclaimed Philosophical Foundations of Neuroscience - combining scientific detail with philosophical insightsViews the evolution of brain science through the lens of its principal figures and experimentsAddresses philosophical criticism of Bennett and Hacker's previous bookAccompanied by more than 100 illustration.
