The ability to read minds has long been a fascination of science fiction, but revolutionary new brain-imaging methods are bringing it closer to scientific reality. The New Mind Readers provides a compelling look at the origins, development, and future of these extraordinary tools, revealing how they are increasingly being used to decode our thoughts and experiences―and how this raises sometimes troubling questions about their application in domains such as marketing, politics, and the law.
Russell Poldrack takes readers on a journey of scientific discovery, telling the stories of the visionaries behind these breakthroughs. Along the way, he gives an insider’s perspective on what is perhaps the single most important technology in cognitive neuroscience today―functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI, which is providing astonishing new insights into the contents and workings of the mind. He highlights both the amazing power and major limitations of these techniques and describes how applications outside the lab often exceed the bounds of responsible science. Poldrack also details the unique and sometimes disorienting experience of having his own brain scanned more than a hundred times as part of a landmark study of how human brain function changes over time.
Written by one of the world’s leading pioneers in the field, The New Mind Readers cuts through the hype and misperceptions surrounding these emerging new methods, offering needed perspective on what they can and cannot do―and demonstrating how they can provide new answers to age-old questions about the nature of consciousness and what it means to be human.

Edited by noted New York University psychologist Gary Marcus, the Norton Psychology Reader is an unparalleled guided tour through the modern science of the human mind and a perfect companion to any introductory psychology course, filled with insights completely accessible to the interested lay reader.

Jung was intrigued from early in his career with coincidences, especially those surprising juxtapositions that scientific rationality could not adequately explain. He discussed these ideas with Albert Einstein before World War I, but first used the term 'synchronicity' in a 1930 lecture, in reference to the unusual psychological insights generated from consulting the I Ching. A long correspondence and friendship with the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli stimulated a final, mature statement of Jung's thinking on synchronicity, originally published in 1952 and reproduced here. Together with a wealth of historical and contemporary material, this essay describes an astrological experiment Jung conducted to test his theory. "Synchronicity" reveals the full extent of Jung's research into a wide range of psychic phenomena. This paperback edition of Jung's classic work includes a new foreword by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at University College London.

A major work in the development of critical theory in the late twentieth century, Anti-Oedipus is an essential text for feminists, literary theorists, social scientists, philosophers, and others interested in the problems of contemporary Western culture.
In his preface, Michel Foucault calls Anti-Oedipus an introduction to non-fascist life, referring not just to political fascism but to the fascism within us--- the desire to be led. To address that problem, Deleuze and Guattari propose a political analysis of desire as it is expressed or repressed in Western culture. They find the seeds of society's sickness in contemporary psychoanalysis, especially in the powerful figure of Oedipus.

“人类理解论”(An Essay concerning Human Understanding)一书是英国著名哲学家、唯物主义者约翰·洛克(John Locke，1632—1704)的主要哲学著作。这部书从1671年写起，直到1687年才完成，在1690年出版。“人类理解论”这一著作在西方哲学史上曾经发生过承前启后的作用，洛克作为唯物主义路线上的一个哲学家是西方唯物主义发展史上的一个重要环节。
洛克在这部著作中所提出并要解决的中心问题是关于人类知识的起源，可靠性和范围。本书一开头他首先批判了笛卡尔主张知识起源上的所谓“天赋观念”以及莱布尼兹的所谓“天赋实践原则”这样一个在认识论上的唯心主义观点，并且从而提出了他的那个有名的白板论，即认识的唯一来源是经验这样一个有巨大意义的唯物主义论点。不过，洛克在经验论上的唯物主义是不彻底的，正如他的政治观点、阶级立场是妥协的一样。所以他的哲学观点不仅影响了后来的唯物主义者(特别是法国百科全书派的启蒙思想家)，同时也被唯心主义者(特别是贝克莱和休谟)有隙可乘地加以利用和歪曲。

Book Description
Describes the theoretical background behind Statistical Parametric Mapping and provides operational guidelines and technical details on data analysis.
Product Description
In an age where the amount of data collected from brain imaging is increasing constantly, it is of critical importance to analyse those data within an accepted framework to ensure proper integration and comparison of the information collected. This book describes the ideas and procedures that underlie the analysis of signals produced by the brain. The aim is to understand how the brain works, in terms of its functional architecture and dynamics. This book provides the background and methodology for the analysis of all types of brain imaging data, from functional magnetic resonance imaging to magnetoencephalography. Critically, Statistical Parametric Mapping provides a widely accepted conceptual framework which allows treatment of all these different modalities. This rests on an understanding of the brain's functional anatomy and the way that measured signals are caused experimentally. The book takes the reader from the basic concepts underlying the analysis of neuroimaging data to cutting edge approaches that would be difficult to find in any other source. Critically, the material is presented in an incremental way so that the reader can understand the precedents for each new development. This book will be particularly useful to neuroscientists engaged in any form of brain mapping; who have to contend with the real-world problems of data analysis and understanding the techniques they are using. It is primarily a scientific treatment and a didactic introduction to the analysis of brain imaging data. It can be used as both a textbook for students and scientists starting to use the techniques, as well as a reference for practicing neuroscientists. The book also serves as a companion to the software packages that have been developed for brain imaging data analysis.
* An essential reference and companion for users of the SPM software
* Provides a complete description of the concepts and procedures entailed by the analysis of brain images
* Offers full didactic treatment of the basic mathematics behind the analysis of brain imaging data
* Stands as a compendium of all the advances in neuroimaging data analysis over the past decade
* Adopts an easy to understand and incremental approach that takes the reader from basic statistics to state of the art approaches such as Variational Bayes
* Structured treatment of data analysis issues that links different modalities and models
* Includes a series of appendices and tutorial-style chapters that makes even the most sophisticated approaches accessible

This edited volume investigates the role of phonetics and phonology in psycholinguistics. Speaking and understanding spoken language both engage phonological and phonetic knowledge. There are detailed models of phonological and phonetic encoding in language production and there are equally refined models of phonetic and phonological processing in language comprehension. However, since most psycholinguists work on either language production or comprehension, the relationship between the two has received surprisingly little attention. Prominent researchers in various areas of psycholinguistics were invited to discuss this relationship focusing on the phonological and phonetic components.

A concise and engaging overview of neuroplasticity for the general reader, describing how our brains change continuously in response to our actions and experiences.
