Cognitieve neuroscience is a relatively recently developed academic field that seeks to explain the underlying biological/neural processes of mental processes (or cognition) in humans. In doing so, it overlaps with many different disciplines, most of them originating from psychology and neuroscience. Cognitive Neuroscience: The Biology of the Mind is an academic textbook that attempts to show a complete overview of contemporary findings in its field, and provides its reader with a heavy chunk o...more

Great as just a book to read, but I really disliked it as a textbook as it doesn't have a clear structure or aesthetic features that facilitate studying it. Also, it could have explored the theory behind many of the experiments and case studies presented instead of using them as a starting point for guiding the book.

A good overview of a bunch of brain related topics - language, vision, hemispheres, how the brain evolved, problem solving, and probably some other ones that I've forgotten :P
Perfect for hard-science averse psychology majors. But if you are reasonably intelligent, I would recommend a more nuanced treatment.

This rating is for the third edition.
The third addition is absolutely amazing. I am an autodidact and was able to comprehend most the material on my own. It is very accessible, yet still packed with knowledge. Out of the 600+ pages, not one page was a filler. Great book

Comprehensive, sometimes a little too much. Great chapter summaries and take home messages that succinctly cover what the chapters had done in a sometimes convoluted way. I suppose though that this is beneficial to different types of learning.

Love it, love it, love it!
I haven't read the whole book yet though - it was one of my course books at the uni. Very nicely written, easy to understand, with handy summaries in the end of each chapter, and lots of pictures of course - quite important with those kind of books :P

It was an awesome read! Got me a 99% on the psych GRE for cognitive neuroscience portion.
Wow! Clear and comprehensive. This is the best textbook treatment of the field that I've seen.
