Résumé:
Klappentext The clinical neurosciences of neuroimaging are described in this all-inclusive book. The rate of technological advancement is stimulating increasingly comprehensive lines of enquiry in neuroscience, which displays no sign of slowing down in the distant future. However, it is unlikely that even the most powerful advocates of the cognitive neuroscience approach would maintain that developments in cognitive theory have kept in step with techniques-based advancements. There are numerous reasons for the failure of neuroimaging studies to satisfactorily resolve a number of most significant theoretical debates in the literature. For example, a crucial proportion of published functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies are not well explained in cognitive theory, and this depicts a step away from the conventional approach in experimental psychology of systematically and technically building on (or chipping away at) present theoretical models using authentic methodologies. Unless, the experimental analysis design is set up within a vividly outlined theoretical framework, any inferences that are drawn are unlikely to be accepted as anything other than analytical. This book examines neuroimaging data in bipolar disorder, neuroimaging outcomes of brain training trials, somatosensory stimulation in functional neuroimaging, reinforcement learning and human brain.
