Higher Brain Functions: Recent Explorations of the Brain's Emergent Properties

This thought-provoking book presents papers on higher brain functions, many contributed by the best minds in the field. Pushing at the frontiers of knowledge on the subject, these chapters develop original ideas first presented in a monograph by Evarts, Shinoda, and Wise, Neurophysiological Approaches to Higher Brain Functions (Wiley, 1984). Organized into three sections, Motor Aspects of Higher Brain Function; Effects of Preparatory Set; and Cerebral Organization, this volume explores important and interesting research directed toward questions concerning higher brain functions that lie beyond the traditional concerns of sensory and motor physiology.
