How the brain's functional architecture reveals the secrets of the human mind
In short: This lecture introduces the fundamental principles of cognitive neuroscience, exploring how specific brain regions specialize in mental processes through the lens of functional architecture and the evolution of empirical methods.
Instructor Nancy Kanwisher examines the historical evolution of theories used to understand the brain. The session provides an introduction to functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and investigates how researchers identify areas of functional specialization for various mental processes.
