Cognitive Electrophysiology of Mind and Brain presents state-of-the-art reviews of the latest developments in the study of the relationships between mind and brain as revealed using the recording of bioelectric (ERPs) and magnetic responses (ERFs) of the brain. To a more limited degree, PET and fMRI measures of brain activity are also covered, in an effort to show how the different signals of brain activation can be combined, and how they can complement each other in the elucidation of brain distributed systems involved in human cognition. Emphasis is placed on reviewing experimental findings in the areas of attention, language, memory, visual and auditory perception, and brain damage research. The book ventures to close the current gap in cognitive neuroscience between a cognitive processing approach to understanding brain function and an approach that analyzes emotional brain states, which are of great importance to thought and behavior in normal people and those with emotional disorders. In addition, the book describes research that studies cognition from a developmental perspective in both normal conditions and after atypical early experience.
