Book The Cognitive Electrophysiology of Mind and Brain

Download or read book The Cognitive Electrophysiology of Mind and Brain written by Alberto Zani and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2002-10-10 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive electrophysiology is a very well established field utilizing new technologies such as bioelectric events-related potentials (ERP) and magnetic (ERF) recordings to pursue the investigation of mind and brain. Current research focuses on reviewing ERP/ERF findings in the areas of attention, language, memory, visual and auditory perceptual processing, emotions, development, and neuropsychological clinical damages. The goal of such research is basically to provide correlations between the structures of the brain and their complex cognitive functions.This book reviews the latest findings in the areas of attention, language, memory, visual and auditory perception, and brain damage research based primarily on research conducted using ERP recordings. Beyond just compiling the knowledge gained from ongoing research, the authors also identify outstanding problems in the field and predict future developments. Provides an original post-cognitive theoretical approach to the investigation of the human mind and brain Presents integrated view of the emotional and cognitive features as well as of developmental features of neurocognitive systems Well-illustrated with elegant and original artwork that clarifies complex theoretical and methodological points throughout the text

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MICHAEL S. GAZZANIGA The investigation of the human brain and mind involves a myriad of ap proaches. Cognitive neuroscience has grown out of the appreciation that these approaches have common goals that are separate from other goals in the neural sciences. By identifying cognition as the construct of interest, cognitive neuro science limits the scope of investigation to higher mental functions, while simultaneously tackling the greatest complexity of creation, the human mind. The chapters of this collection have their common thread in cognitive neuroscience. They attack the major cognitive processes using functional stud ies in humans. Indeed, functional measures of human sensation, perception, and cognition are the keystone of much of the neuroscience of cognitive sci ence, and event-related potentials (ERPs) represent a methodological "coming of age" in the study of the intricate temporal characteristics of cognition. Moreover, as the field of cognitive ERPs has matured, the very nature of physiology has undergone a significant revolution. It is no longer sufficient to describe the physiology of non-human primates; one must consider also the detailed knowledge of human brain function and cognition that is now available from functional studies in humans-including the electrophysiological studies in humans described here. Together with functional imaging of the human brain via positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), ERPs fill our quiver with the arrows required to pierce more than the single neuron, but the networks of cognition.

  • Author : Per Andersen
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2007
  • ISBN : 9780195100273
  • Pages : 892 pages

Download or read book The Hippocampus Book written by Per Andersen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 892 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hippocampus is one of a group of remarkable structures embedded within the brain's medial temporal lobe. Long known to be important for memory, it has been a prime focus of neuroscience research for many years. The Hippocampus Book promises to facilitate developments in the field in a major way by bringing together, for the first time, contributions by leading international scientists knowledgeable about hippocampal anatomy, physiology, and function. This authoritative volume offers the most comprehensive, up-to-date account of what the hippocampus does, how it does it, and what happens when things go wrong. At the same time, it illustrates how research focusing on this single brain structure has revealed principles of wider generality for the whole brain in relation to anatomical connectivity, synaptic plasticity, cognition and behavior, and computational algorithms. Well-organized in its presentation of both theory and experimental data, this peerless work vividly illustrates the astonishing progress that has been made in unraveling the workings of the brain. The Hippocampus Book is destined to take a central place on every neuroscientist's bookshelf.

Book Electrophysiological Investigations of Recognition Memory

Download or read book Electrophysiological Investigations of Recognition Memory written by Graham MacKenzie and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dual-process models of recognition memory propose that recognition memory can be supported by either a general sense of familiarity or the recollection of the encoding context. One source of evidence supporting dual-process models comes from event-related potential (ERP) studies of recognition memory, which have identified distinct patterns of neural activity associated with familiarity and recollection (the mid frontal and left parietal old/new effects, respectively). In this thesis, dual-process accounts of recognition memory were investigated in a series of ERP studies using three categories of stimulus: previously unknown faces, famous faces, and names. For previously unknown faces, familiarity was associated with activity over posterior scalp electrodes while recollection was associated with topographically dissociable activity over anterior electrodes. These dissociable patterns of activity support dual-process models. However, the typical pattern of old/new effects was only observed for stimuli associated with pre-existing representations (i.e., names and famous faces), suggesting that the presence/absence of pre-existing representations may determine the particular retrieval processes that support recognition memory. Furthermore, recollection was associated with two different patterns of activity (anterior and left parietal effects), suggesting that recollection is not a homogenous process. Dual-process theories may represent an important starting point for investigating recognition memory, but neither familiarity nor recollection appear to be functionally homogenous processes when theorizing is constrained by the analysis of scalp recorded electrophysiological activity.

Book Electrophysiologic Evaluation in Otolaryngology

Download or read book Electrophysiologic Evaluation in Otolaryngology written by Bobby Ray Alford and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has seen a rapid increase in the application of electrophysiologic measurement techniques in evaluating patients with hearing and balance disorders. Advances in computer technology have generated new and exciting applications in the areas of electrocochleography, electroneuronography, electronystagmography, and the auditory brainstem response. This book examines these recent developments and explores new areas of the field currently under investigation. An important issue in electrocochleography today is the widened AP-SP complex. Contributors to this book evaluate its significance in patients with cerebellopontine angle tumor. The many applications of the auditory brainstem response are surveyed, as well as the current status of the mid- and long-latency evoked responses. An overview of the relatively new area of otoacoustic emissions and its clinical applications is also included. Practicing otolaryngologists, otolaryngology residents, audiologists, audiology students, and auditory and vestibular scientists will benefit most from this well-researched book.
