Cognitive Neuroscience of Emotion

This is the paperback edition of a title that has sold 1481 copies in hardback since 2000. This unique book draws its inspiration from the belief that the role of cognition in emotion is an important yet relatively neglected aspect of cognitive neuroscience. By carefully examining underlying assumptions and the nature of the phenomena under investigation, editors and contributors reach the surprising conclusion that emotion - in all of its mystery and ineffability - can be studied without compromise within the field of cognitive neuroscience.
