Minds, Brains, and Learning: Understanding the Psychological and Educational Relevance of Neuroscientific ... 1 review
James P. Byrnes PhD
The Guilford Press, 2001
What we really know about brain mechanisms and eduation
Nearly a decade after its publication, this book remains for me one of the very best resources for those who want to understand how we learn in terms of brain function, and in general the educational relevance of neuroscience. Brain science remains a potentially important source for expanding and revising our psychological theories of learning. On the other hand, a lot of enthusiastic authors ...

Irving Massey
University of Texas Press, 2009
Art and technology have been converging rapidly in the past few years; an important example of this convergence is the alliance of neuroscience with aesthetics, which has produced the new field of neuroaesthetics. Irving Massey examines this alliance, in large part to allay the fears of artists and audiences alike that brain science may 'explain away' the arts. The first part of the book shows how neuroscience can enhance our understanding of ...

The Moral Brain: Essays on the Evolutionary and Neuroscientific Aspects of Morality
Springer, 2009
Scientists no longer accept the existence of a distinct moral organ as phrenologists once did. A generation of young neurologists is using advanced technological medical equipment to unravel specific brain processes enabling moral cognition. In addition, evolutionary psychologists have formulated hypotheses about the origins and nature of our moral architecture. Little by little, the concept of a ?moral brain? is reinstated. As the crossover ...

A Moment of Transition: Two Neuroscientific Articles by Sigmund Freud
Mark Solms
Karnac Books, 1990
Between 1877 and 1900, Sigmund Freud published over one hundred neuroscientific works, only seven of which have previously appeared in English translation. Aphasie and Gehirn, the two articles presented in A Moment of Transition, were originally composed in 1888 as dictionary entries for the Handwortebuch der gesamten Medizin edited by Albert Villaret. They therefore date from a pivotal period of Freud's career when a growing interest in ...
