Cognitive neuroscience is the interdisciplinary study of how cognitive and intellectual functions are processed and represented within the brain, which is critical to building understanding of core psychological and behavioural processes such as learning, memory, behaviour, perception, and consciousness. Understanding these processes not only offers relevant fundamental insights into brain-behavioural relations, but may also lead to actionable knowledge that can be applied in the clinical treatment of patients with various brain-related disabilities.

This Handbook focusses on the foundational principles, methods, and underlying systems in cognitive and systems neuroscience, as well as examining cutting-edge methodological advances and innovations.

Containing 34 original, state of the art contributions from leading experts in the field, this Handbook is essential reading for researchers and students of cognitive psychology, as well as scholars across the fields of neuroscientific, behavioural and health sciences.

Aron K. Barbey is Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Bioengineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is chair of the Intelligent Systems Research Theme, leader of the Intelligence, Learning, and Plasticity Initiative, and director of the Decision Neuroscience Laboratory at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. Dr. Barbey's research investigates the neural mechanisms of human intelligence and decision making, with particular emphasis on enhancing these functions through cognitive neuroscience, physical fitness, and nutritional intervention.

Felipe Fregni, MD, PhD, MMSc, MPH is the director of Spaulding Neuromodulation Center. He is an Associate Professor of PM&R at Harvard Medical School and an Associate Professor of Epidemiology. He is also the course director for the HMS continuing medical education course, Principles and Practice of Clinical Research, a 6-month distance learning course. It focuses on promoting collaboration and bringing clinical research education to practicing clinicians worldwide. Currently, his research is focused on understanding neuroplastic changes associated with conditions such as chronic pain, Parkinson's disease, and stroke, using non-invasive brain stimulation as an investigative tool for such aims.

Marjan Jahanshahi is Emeritus Professor of Clinical Neuropsychology at the UCL Institute of Neurology. She qualified as a clinical psychologist at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience in 1982, after which she completed her PhD under the supervision of the late Professor David Marsden. For the past 30 years she has worked as a consultant clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist at the UCL Institute of Neurology; as the Head of the Cognitive-Motor Neuroscience Group and a Principal Investigator in the Functional Neurosurgery Unit for the past 15 years.

Georg Northoff is Canada Research Chair for Mind, Brain Imaging and Neuroethics at the University of Ottawa/Canada. He made major contribution in neuroscience on the neural correlates of mental features like consciousness, self, mind wandering and mental disorders having discovered their spatiotemporal mechanisms bridging the gap of neural and mental activity. This led him to develop an integrated brain-mind model for which Spatiotemporal Neuroscience is the key discipline.

Alvaro Pascual-Leone is a Professor of Neurology and Director of the Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, where he also serves as Program Director of the Harvard-Thorndike Clinical Research Center. His research aims at understanding the mechanisms that control brain plasticity across the lifespan to be able to modify them for the subject's optimal behavioral outcome.

Barbara Sahakian is Professor of Clinical Neuropsychology in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge. She is a Fellow of the British Academy and a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences. She is also a Fellow of Clare Hall. She is a past president of the International Neuroethics Society and of the British Association for Psychopharmacology. According to Research.com she is among the very top researchers worldwide in the fields of neuroscience and psychology. She has over 550 publications (h-index 159) in scientific journals, including Science, Nature and The Lancet.
