Somatosensory Perception
Olfactory Perception
Gustatory Perception
Multisensory Integration

2. Attention¶

Selective Attention
Divided Attention
Sustained Attention
Executive Attention
Attentional Networks
Neural Basis of Attention

3. Memory¶

Working Memory
Short-Term and Long-Term Memory
Declarative and Non-Declarative Memory
Episodic and Semantic Memory
Memory Consolidation and Reconsolidation
Neural Correlates of Memory

4. Language and Communication¶

Language Processing and Comprehension
Speech Production
Reading and Writing
Bilingualism and Multilingualism
Neural Basis of Language
Language Disorders

5. Executive Functions¶

Decision Making
Problem Solving
Planning and Organization

Cognitive neuroscience bridges the gap between the study of the brain and the study of the mind, providing insights into how mental functions are grounded in brain activity. It employs a wide range of techniques to study brain function, from non-invasive imaging to the examination of neurological patients, making it a highly interdisciplinary and dynamic field.
