These essays on a range of topics in the cognitive neurosciences report on the progress
in the field over the twenty years of its existence and reflect the many groundbreaking
scientific contributions and enduring influence of Michael Gazzaniga, "the godfather of
cognitive neuroscience"-founder of the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, founding editor of
the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, and editor of the major reference work, The
Cognitive Neurosciences, now in its fourth edition (MIT Press, 2009). The essays, grouped
into four sections named after four of Gazzaniga's books, combine science and memoir in
varying proportions, and offer an authoritative survey of research in cognitive
neuroscience.
