Friedenberg and Silverman introduce students to cognitive science by focusing on one specific area in each chapter, ranging from philosophical and psychological to evolutionary and artificial intelligence approaches, and their methodology, theoretical perspectives, findings, critical evaluations, and conclusions. This edition has two new chapters on emotional and social cognition; new sections on dynamical systems perspective, comparative cognition and behavioral economics, and network science; new topics such as intelligent agents, modeling of biological systems, the Blue Brain project, and magnetoencephalography; new imaging and recording techniques; and interdisciplinary sections at the ends of chapters.
