The evolution of cognitive neuroscience has been spurred by the development of
increasingly sophisticated investigative techniques to study human cognition.
In Methods in Mind, experts examine the wide variety of tools available to cognitive
neuroscientists, paying particular attention to the ways in which different methods
can be integrated to strengthen empirical findings and how innovative uses for established
techniques can be developed. The book will be a uniquely valuable resource for the
researcher seeking to expand his or her repertoire of investigative techniques.
