Russian Cognitive Neuroscience
Historical and Cultural Context
Series:
Editor:
This volume brings together an unprecedented compilation of papers from esteemed Russian psychophysiologists, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists. The contributors explain the disciplinary trajectories and theoretical foundations inspiring their experimental research, providing important intellectual contexts. Commentaries by editors Chris Forsythe and Gabriel Radvansky discuss the relationships between Russian, European, and American developments in cognitive science and neuroscience. This volume provides a detailed exposition of the distinctively Russian advances in neuropsychology and cognitive science from the late nineteenth century to the present.
Chris Forsythe has worked as a distinguished researcher for many years at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, applying brain science for technological improvements to human performance. He earned his PhD in Experimental Psychology and MS in Biopsychology from the University of Memphis.
