  • The Psychobiology of Sensory Coding

    by William R. Uttal ...
    Series series The Uttal Tetralogy of Cognitive Neuroscience
    Originally published in 1973, this book deals with what were, even at that time, the well-known neural coding processes of the sensory transmission processes. The book was written to demonstrate the common features of the various senses. It concentrates on the most peripheral neural aspects of the senses starting with the physical transduction process and culminating in the arrival of signals at ... Read more

  • Neural Theories of Mind

    Why the Mind-Brain Problem May Never Be Solved

    by William R. Uttal ...
    In this fascinating book, William R. Uttal raises the possibility that, however much we learn about the anatomy and physiology of the brain and psychology, we may never be able to cross the final bridge explaining how the mind is produced by the brain. Three main classes of mind-brain theory are considered and rejected: field theories, because they are based on a superficial analogy; single cell ... Read more

  • On Seeing Forms

    by William R. Uttal ...
    Series series The Uttal Tetralogy of Cognitive Neuroscience
    Originally published in 1988, this is the final volume in the set. The original intent of the tetralogy was to review neural explanations of high level perceptual and cognitive processes. However, at this point, it became clear that there were few neural explanations of perceptual topics – a situation that still persists today. This book, therefore, used a different framework examining the role of ... Read more

  • Psychomythics

    Sources of Artifacts and Misconceptions in Scientific Psychology

    by William R. Uttal ...
    Psychology deals with the most complex subject matter of any science. As such, it is subject to misunderstandings, artifacts, and just simple errors of data, logic, and interpretation. This book teases out the details of some of the sources of these errors. It considers errors in psychological data and theories that arise from confusing endogenous and exogenous causal forces in perceptual research ... Read more

  • Macroneural Theories in Cognitive Neuroscience

    by William R. Uttal ...
    In this book, William R. Uttal continues his analysis and critique of theories of mind. This book considers theories that are based on macroneural responses (such as those obtained from fMRI) that represent the averaged or cumulative responses of many neurons. The analysis is carried out with special emphasis on the logical and conceptual difficulties in developing a theory but with special ... Read more

  • A Taxonomy of Visual Processes

    by William R. Uttal ...
    Series series The Uttal Tetralogy of Cognitive Neuroscience
    Originally published in 1981, this third volume deals with the empirical data base and the theories concerning visual perception – the set of mental responses to photic stimulation of the eyes. As the book develops, the plan was to present a general taxonomy of visual processes and phenomena. It was hoped that such a general perspective would help to bring some order to the extensive, but largely ... Read more

  • Time, Space, and Number in Physics and Psychology (Psychology Revivals)

    by William R. Uttal ...
    Series series Psychology Revivals
    The crux of the debate between proponents of behavioral psychology and cognitive psychology focuses on the issue of accessibility. Cognitivists believe that mental mechanisms and processes are accessible, and that their inner workings can be inferred from experimental observations of behavior. Behaviorists, on the contrary, believe that mental processes and mechanisms are inaccessible, and that ... Read more

  • The Psychobiology of Mind

    by William R. Uttal ...
    Series series The Uttal Tetralogy of Cognitive Neuroscience
    Originally published in 1978, this book develops a conceptual synthesis of the field of physiological psychology, the science specifically concerned with the relationship between the brain and the mind. It was designed to elucidate the important questions under investigation, the basic intellectual and technical problems that were encountered, and the significance of the major empirical results of ...

  • The Neuron and the Mind

    Microneuronal Theory and Practice in Cognitive Neuroscience

    by William R. Uttal ...
    This book, a companion to William R. Uttal’s earlier work on macrotheories theories of mind-brain relationships, reviews another set of theories—those based on microneuronal measurements. Microneural theories maintain the integrity of individual neurons either in isolation or as participants in the great neuronal networks that make up the physical brain. Despite an almost universal acceptance by ... Read more

  • Dualism

    The Original Sin of Cognitivism

    by William R. Uttal ...
    Directed to scholars and senior-level graduate students, this book is an iconoclastic survey of the history of dualism and its impact on contemporary cognitive psychology. It argues that much of modern cognitive or mentalist psychology is built upon a cryptodualism--the idea that the mind and brain can be thought of as independent entities. This dualism pervades so much of society that it covertly ... Read more

    by William R. Uttal ...
