In this review, we summarize findings supporting the existence of multiple behavioral
strategies for controlling reward-related behavior, including a dichotomy between the goal …

Neuroimaging studies have improved our understanding of which brain structures are
involved in motor learning. Despite this, questions remain regarding the areas that …

Is it possible to learn something without being aware of it? How does emotion influence the
way we think? How can we improve our memory? Fundamentals of Cognition, third edition …

During object manipulation tasks, the brain selects and implements action-phase controllers
that use sensory predictions and afferent signals to tailor motor output to the physical …

Rationality principles such as optimal feedback control and Bayesian inference underpin a
probabilistic framework that has accounted for a range of empirical phenomena in biological …

First published in 1995, The Visual Brain in Action remains a seminal publication in the
cognitive sciences. It presents a model for understanding the visual processing underlying …

The inability of axons to regenerate after a spinal cord injury in the adult mammalian central
nervous system (CNS) can lead to permanent paralysis. At sites of CNS injury, a glial scar …

The model proposed by the authors of two cortical systems providing 'vision for action'and
'vision for perception', respectively, owed much to the inspiration of Larry Weiskrantz. In the …

At every moment, the natural world presents animals with two fundamental pragmatic
problems: selection between actions that are currently possible and specification of the …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …
