The evolution of cognitive neuroscience has been spurred by the
development of increasingly sophisticated investigative
techniques to study human cognition. In Methods in Mind, experts
examine the wide variety of tools available to cognitive
neuroscientists, paying particular attention to the ways in
which different methods can be integrated to strengthen
empirical findings and how innovative uses for established
techniques can be developed. The book will be a uniquely
valuable resource for the researcher seeking to expand his or
her repertoire of investigative techniques. Since Darwin we have
known that evolution has shaped all organisms and that
biological organs—including the brain and the highly crafted
animal nervous system—are subject to the pressures of natural
and sexual selection. It is only relatively recently, however,
that the cognitive neurosciences have begun to apply
evolutionary theory and methods to the study of brain and
behavior. This landmark reference documents and defines the
