Description
This volume forms a milestone in the continuing effort to analyze brain-mind relationships. Based on a stimulating meeting in which participants
attempted to integrate heterogenous ideas and concepts related to brain and mind, the basic strategy is to find counterparts in neuroscience
and cognitive science. Articles are presented on the subjects of Attention and Action, Memory and Learning, Space Representation, Motor
Sequences and Frontal Lobe Function. These are central problems currently being addressed in neuroscience and cognitive science, and
will therefore give the readers the most up-to-date views regarding brain - mind relationships.
Contents
Section 1: Attention and Action.
1. Orienting of spatial attention - Its reflexive, compensatory, and voluntary mechanisms (O.
Hikosaka, S. Miyauchi, S. Shimojo). 2. Stimulus-driven facilitation and inhibition of visual information processing in environmental
and retinotopic representations of space (S. Shimojo, Y. Tanaka, K. Watanabe). Attention control: Explorations of the work of an executive
controller (D. Gopher).
Section 2: Multiple Mechanisms of Memory and Learning.
4. The acquisition of perceptual and motor skills:
A memory system in the adult human cortex (A. Karni). 5. Neurological basis of skill learning (A. Yamadori, T. Yoshida, E. Mori, H. Yamashita).
6. Functional imaging of human visual recognition (N. Kanwisher, M.M. Chun, J. McDermott, P.J. Ledden). 7. Associative and perceptual
learning and the concept of memory systems (D. Gaffan). 8. Feedback signal from medial temporal lobe mediates visual associative mnemonic
codes of inferotemporal neurons (Y. Miyashita, H. Okuno, W. Tokuyama, T. Ihara, K.I. Nakajima).
Section 3: Egocentric and Environmental
Space Representation.
9. Egocentric perception through interaction among many sensory systems (M. Ohmi). 10. Surface representation
in the visual system (H. Komatsu, I. Murakami, M. Kinoshita). 11. Spatial representations for action in parietal cortex (C.L. Colby,
J. Duhamel).
Section 4: Coding of Motor Sequences.
12. Multiple cortical motor areas and temporal sequencing of movements (J.
Tanji, K. Shima, H. Mushiake). 13. Mental transformations in the motor cortex (G. Pellizzer). 14. Spatial reasoning in the monkey (E.
Procyk, J.P. Joseph). 15. Computational study on the neural mechanism of sequential pattern memory (M. Morita).
Section 5: Frontal
Lobe Function.
16. Representation of object-centered space in the primate frontal lobe (C.R. Olson, S.N. Gettner). 17. Functional
modular organization of the primate prefrontal cortex for representing working memory process (T. Sawaguchi). 18. Studies on integrative
functions of the human frontal association cortex with MEG (K. Sasaki, A. Nambu, T. Tsujimoto, R. Matsuzaki, S. Kyuhou, H. Gemba). 19.
The role of the prefrontal cortex in higher cognitive functions (C. Frith, R. Dolan).
