The Cognitive Neuroscience of Action by Marc Jeannerod
This book is one of the first in an exciting new series of tutorials in cognitive neuroscience, and provides a concise, readable and up-to-date review of cognitive and neuroscience studies of the representations for actions. The fundamental question addressed concerns the nature and role of different representations in the planning and execution of movements.
"The Cognitive Neuroscience of Action provides an interesting historical context to many of the important ideas that guide current thinking about the neural basis of action" Peter Redgrave, University of Sheffield"It is both innovative and integrative and certainly is a must read for those working in the area...I would certainly recommend this book in advanced undergraduate work, perhaps as an adjunct to a third year undergraduate course or for a reading group in visual perception, perception and action, or neuropsychology." Alan M. Wing, Psychology Teaching Review
"Jeannerod's book is an impressive example of a cognitive neuroscientific approach to action." Johannes Engelkamp, University of the Saarland, American Journal of Psychology, Spring 2001.
Marc Jeannerod is Professor of Psychology at INSERM, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Lyon.
