This edition highlights current innovations in neuro-cognition and technology. Nearly every chapter addresses a technological stride, such as the use of PET scan and MRI technology in understanding cognitive processes, and provides examples from literature, art and music to illustrate theoretical and technical applications to everyday life. Most chapters include a box entitled "Critical Thinking about Cognition", which allows the student to evaluate the written material in different contexts.
