This book marks a clear transition in the conceptual structure of cognition in the brain from the conventional modular model, based on sensory and motor physiology, to the network model, based on the most current methods and findings of electrophysiology, neuroimaging and experimental psychology.
- Explores the concept of cognitive cortical network as the depository and encoder of memory and knowledge
- Examines the dynamics of the perception-action cycle
- Presents the latest research on the neural infrastructure of memory
