Cognitive neuroscience has evolved into a complex discipline over the past 35 years, necessitating a comprehensive resource to examine its current state. This handbook, divided into two volumes, features 59 chapters that systematically explore various aspects of cognitive neuroscience, including perception, attention, memory, language, emotion, self and social cognition, higher cognitive functions, and clinical applications. Topics range from top-down cognitive processes in visual perception to object representation and spatial relations. It addresses attention's relationship to action and visual motor control, as well as core language abilities such as semantics, speech perception and production, and the distinction between linguistic competence and performance, including written language capacity. Special emphasis is placed on psychopharmacology of cognition, theory of mind, the neuroscience of emotion regulation, and neuropsychological and neuroimaging evidence supporting the unique status of self-knowledge in memory. This handbook serves as a comprehensive resource for students, researchers, and professionals in the dynamic field of cognitive neuroscience.
