SUMMARY

Memory itself is inseparable from all other brain functions and involves distributed dynamic neural processes. This book bridges the disciplines of neurophysiology, cognitive psychology, and EEG-brain dynamics to understand how the brain represents mental events that are interwoven with memory. The text presents a new study-framework that links oscillatory brain activity with the concept of dynamic memory, leading to dynamic-APLR alliance and all brain functions. This latest volume in the Conceptual Advances in Brain Research series, it is a reference for all postgraduate students, researchers, and professionals in the field of neuroscience
