Twenty-five contributors to 19 chapters on the present state of knowledge about human brain functioning cover: principles and methods, functional anatomy, and future perspectives in brain mapping and imagining. The volume concludes with a philosophical coda on the future of imaging neuroscience, with the intriguing final sentence: "For those readers who are dismayed not to have found one sentence in this final chapter containing the word consciousness,' here it is!" (Consciousness an entry in the index spanning acoustic codes to working memory.) Includes b&w and several color illustrations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
