Media Reviews

Bergen, Schroer, and Woodin have done an exemplary job in balancing two elements critical to a book focused on brain research. First, the book maintains a superb balance of technical detail and simple explanation. Second, they effectively communicate neurotechnological advances and methodological applications for educators, parents, and policy makers. Highly recommended!
