Changing Brains: Essays on Neuroplasticity in Honor of Helen J. Neville by Aaron

Description: Changing Brains by Aaron J. Newman, Giordana Grossi This book celebrates the pioneering work and contributions of Helen J. Neville, who conducted seminal neuroimaging work using EEG and fMRI to illustrate the role that experience plays in shaping the brain. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book celebrates the pioneering work and contributions of Helen J. Neville, who conducted seminal neuroimaging work using electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaginf (fMRI) to illustrate the role that experience plays in shaping the brain. Bringing together her former students, collaborators, and colleagues, the book presents essays and original empirical research that pay tribute to Helen Nevilles groundbreaking work. The chapters discuss her contributions to our knowledge of neuroplasticity in perception, attention, and language, and how they inspired more recent developments in these and related areas, such as work on deafness (changes in sign language processing with age and the effects of cochlear implants on language development), the early stages of reading, memory consolidation during sleep, and the connection between attentional and memory systems. The book also discusses her strong commitment to rigorous science that could be translated into real-world practice through social interventions to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes. It additionally includes short poems by Marta Kutas interspersed between chapters that are inspired by Helens work and highlight her contributions, values, and ideas. The book showcases Helen Nevilles legacy to the field of neuroscience and is a must-read for all students and researchers of neuroplasticity and developmental cognitive neuroscience. Author Biography Aaron J. Newman is Professor at Dalhousie University, Chair of the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience, and Director of the NeuroCognitive Imaging Lab. His research program in cognitive neuroscience focuses on how the brain organization for language, hearing, and vision can be altered by experience.Giordana Grossi is Professor of Psychology at the State University of New York at New Paltz and Director of the Brain and Cognition Lab. Her empirical work, which employs both behavioral and electrophysiological measures, explores aspects of automaticity and expertise in visual word recognition in both monolinguals and bilinguals.
