商品描述

The mainstays of brain imaging techniques have been positron emission tomography (PET), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and event-related potentials (ERPs). These methods all record direct or indirect measures of brain activity and correlate the activity patterns with behavior. But to go beyond the correlations established by these techniques and prove the necessity of an area for a given function, cognitive neuroscientists need to be able to reverse engineer the brain--i.e., to selectively remove components from information processing and assess their impact on the output.

This book is about transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a technique that emerged during the same period as neuroimaging and has made it possible to reverse engineer the human brain's role in behavioral and cognitive functions. The subject areas that can be studied using TMS run the gamut of cognitive psychology--attention, perception, awareness, eye movements, action selection, memory, plasticity, language, numeracy, and priming. The book presents an overview of historical attempts at magnetic brain stimulation, ethical considerations of the technique's use, basic technical and practical information, the results of numerous TMS studies, and a discussion of the future of TMS in the armamentarium of cognitive neuropsychology.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

大腦影像技術的主要支柱包括正子發射斷層掃描（PET）、功能性磁共振影像（fMRI）、磁腦電圖（MEG）和事件相關電位（ERP）。這些方法都記錄了大腦活動的直接或間接測量，並將活動模式與行為相關聯。然而，為了超越這些技術所建立的相關性並證明某個區域對特定功能的必要性，認知神經科學家需要能夠逆向工程大腦——即選擇性地移除信息處理中的組件，並評估其對輸出的影響。

本書探討經顱磁刺激（TMS），這是一種在神經影像技術出現的同一時期發展起來的技術，使得逆向工程人類大腦在行為和認知功能中的角色成為可能。使用TMS可以研究的主題範圍涵蓋了認知心理學的各個方面——注意力、知覺、意識、眼球運動、行動選擇、記憶、可塑性、語言、數字能力和啟發。本書提供了對磁性大腦刺激歷史嘗試的概述、該技術使用的倫理考量、基本技術和實用信息、眾多TMS研究的結果，以及對TMS在認知神經心理學武器庫中未來的討論。
