Cognitive Science An Introduction to the Science of the Mind

As the last chapter of this book, we introduce some exciting and under-explored areas of future cognitive science. The first section reviews current large brain imaging databases elicited from the Human Connectome Project (HCP) movement. The second section focuses on the brain's resting state, called the default mode networks (DMN). The third section looks at the development of neuroprosthesis and how cognitive scientists can cooperate with interdisciplinary researchers in robotic engineering and brain--computer interfaces. The fourth section looks at cognitive science and the law, while the last section looks at self-driving vehicles.
