Brain Mapping and Functioning, (Hardcover)

Functional brain mapping has acquired significant influence on academic and clinical practice and a large amount of grants are being issued to this branch of neuroscience to boost experimental and practical implementations, and to uncover the mysteries in this field. The most successful approach to unlock the mysteries of the brain, as said by Jay Ingram, is to bring together an interdisciplinary network of scientists and clinicians to encourage an interchange of ideas. This method of exchange is the main focus of this book. The important topics discussed are sensorimotor integration and attention, neural correlates for speech and gesture, biophysically detailed network model, and the integration of binocular retinal projections in the brain ceasing thoughts and brain activity.
