This volume not only reflects the current state of cognitive psychology but also invites readers to consider the possibilities for future research and discovery in understanding the complexities of the human mind.

"The essays offer amusing summaries of major breakthrough areas of psychology and neurobiology ... This volume is especially interesting for how psychologists feel about the future of what we can know now, a future very much operationally defined by the tools we invent. Recommended for academic psychologists or as an introduction to major trends in research psychology." -- The Reader's Review "The essays offer amusing summaries of major breakthrough areas of psychology and neurobiology ...
