Study Notes
Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging Techniques
- The text discusses cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging techniques used to study brain structure and function relevant to human cognition.
- It highlights the various techniques used in cognitive neuroimaging, such as single-unit recording, event-related potentials (ERPs), positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI and fMRI).
- The newer technique of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is also mentioned, which can temporarily inhibit processing in a given area.
- Experimental cognitive psychology is described as involving experiments on healthy individuals under controlled laboratory conditions, with limitations such as lack of ecological validity and indirect measures.
- The study of patterns of cognitive performance exhibited by brain-damaged individuals in cognitive neuropsychology aims to provide knowledge about normal human cognition and reveals complexities when the system malfunctions.
- Cognitive neuropsychology assumes functional and anatomical modularity, uniformity of functional architecture across individuals, and subtractivity (impairments cannot add to systems).
- The text also discusses the evidence in cognitive neuropsychology, including performance dissociations and double dissociations, and its limitations such as compensation for impairments and diverse patients with similar brain damage.
- It emphasizes the importance of combining techniques in cognitive neuroscience and the need for theoretically driven neuroimaging.
- The text provides a list of required reading, online resources, and video recommendations for further study in cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging techniques.
- It encourages the evaluation of one's knowledge of brain structures, understanding of research methods, and appreciation of the interplay of regions in complex tasks.
- The text highlights the limitations of laboratory research in experimental cognitive psychology and the need for a theoretically driven approach when using neuroimaging techniques.
- The text emphasizes the importance of converging evidence in cognitive neuroscience and the need to consider the benefits and limitations of research methods.
