The Handbook of Autobiographical Memory: From Basic to Applied Perspectives offers a comprehensive view on autobiographical memory with a multidisciplinary approach. This volume explores contemporary advances in understanding both the cognitive and neural processes, with historical context of autobiographical memory theory and assessment. The book further synthesizes insights from cognitive, developmental, and social aspects of autobiographical functioning as well as understanding departures from the norm in terms of autobiographical memory dysfunction. A section on applications will equip readers with essential information regarding the assessment and detection of autobiographical memory dysfunction in neurological and psychiatric populations, how such processes evolve over the lifespan, and how deviations from healthy memory function can be supported through novel rehabilitation practices.

Psychophysics and Experimental Phenomenology of Pattern Cognition, Second Edition delves into the cognitive processes involved in pattern recognition and the specialized systems that handle these processes. Topics covered include symmetry cognition, contour perception, geometric illusions, weight sensation, as well as repetitive and dot patterns. By integrating aspects of psychophysics and experimental phenomenology, the book offers a thorough exploration of pattern cognition from both physical and mental sensory viewpoints, offering a holistic understanding of this cognitive system. New to the second edition are updated models, including one which can draw theoretical curves of rod function, new experimental data on unifiedness as examined in a three-stage serial model. This edition also includes brand new chapters on

Imaging Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction in Brain Disorders delves into the intricate structure and function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), examining its essential role in the pathogenesis of various brain disorders. The book offers a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge medical imaging technologies for visualizing BBB function, both in a healthy state and under diseased conditions. Readers will gain an in-depth understanding of how the BBB influences normal brain function, including aspects such as aging and sleep, and how its dysfunction is linked to serious neurological conditions.Furthermo... the book explores BBB anomalies in brain disorders like stroke, traumatic brain injury, cerebral small vessel disease, Alzheimer's disease, and sleep apnea. It highlights modern medical imaging technologies, such as MRI, for observing BBB function in vivo. It emphasizes the importance of BBB imaging for monitoring and potentially curing brain disorders, and discusses its potential in the early detection of neurological disorders, allowing for timely and effective treatment strategies.

The Electrical Fields of Consciousness: Brain Waves and Dreaming examines neuro-electrophysiol... from its origins in the electrical fields of primitive organisms to its roles in the electrophysiological... defined states of human consciousness. This volume presents and cogently organizes the wide spectrum of information available as to how and why bioelectrical fields are used to define and function in supporting both life and consciousness. Integrating electrophysiology in a comprehensible manner into neuroanatomical, electromagnetic, and global platform theories of neuroconsciousness, this book brings together the wide spectrum of available data-based evidence regarding the physiology and functions of bioelectric fields and their relationship to consciousness.Chapte... examine the origin and potential function of bioelectrical fields and EEG associations with conscious states, as well as the relationship between electrical fields and consciousness. Incorporating the basic science, clinical correlates, and functional potential of CNS bioelectrical fields, this book is a must-read for all working in the field of CNS electrophysiology or neuroconsciousness.

Neuroscience Without Representations

In Neuroscience Without Representations, an Open Access book, Oscar Vilarroya addresses the notion of “representation” as used in expressions like “neural representation” or “mental representation”. This concept is fundamental in neuroscience, yet there remains no clear, universally accepted view on what it means for a nervous system to represent something, what constitutes a neural activity as a representation, and what is being re-presented.The book lays the foundation for a non-representational view of brain function. Building upon György Buzsáki’s critique of the theoretical framework underlying current cognitive neuroscience, Vilarroya argues that disciplines such as embodied and embedded cognition—collective... known as ‘4E cognition’—are driving a paradigm shift in our understanding of animal cognition.Rather than grounding cognition solely in representations, the author proposes an alternative: understanding cognition as enaction—the meaningful engagement of an organism to address situational requirements. The book supports this approach through detailed analyses of recent studies.

Advances in Resting-State Functional MRI: Methods, Interpretation, and Applications gives readers with basic neuroimaging experience an up-to-date and in-depth understanding of the methods, opportunities, and challenges in rs-fMRI. The book covers current knowledge gaps in rs-fMRI, including "what are biologically plausible brain networks," "how to tell what part is noise," "how to perform quality assurance on the data," "what are the spatial and temporal limits of our ability to resolve FC," and "how to best identify network features related to individual differences or disease state". This book is an ideal reference for neuroscientists, computational neuroscientists, psychologists, biomedical engineers, physicists and medical physicists. Both new and more advanced researchers alike will be able to discover new information distilled from the past decade of research to become well-versed in rs-fMRI-related topics.

Connectome Analysis: Characterization, Methods, and Analysis is a comprehensive companion for the analysis of brain networks, or connectomes. The book provides sources of constituent structural and functional MRI signals, network construction and practices for analysis, cutting-edge methods that address the latest challenges in neuroscience, and the fundamentals of network theory in the context of giving practical methods for building connectomes for analysis. Emphasis is placed on quality control of the individual analysis steps. Subsequent chapters discuss networks in neuroscience in clinical and general populations, including how findings are related to underlying neurophysiology and neuropsychology.This book is aimed at students and early-career researchers in brain connectomics and neuroimaging who have a background in computer science, mathematics and physics, as well as more broadly to neuroscientists and psychologists who want to start incorporating connectomics into their research.
