Cognitive neuroscience is entering an exciting era in which new technologies and ideas are making it possible to study the neural basis of cognition, perception, memory and emotion at the level of networks of interacting neurons, the level at which we believe many of the important operations of the brain take place.

American Scientist

Geoff Dyer

We are moving beyond the non-fiction novel to different kinds of narrative art, different forms of cognition. Loaded with moral and political point, narrative has been recalibrated to record, honour, and protest the latest historically specific instance of futility and mess.

English Writer

What helps with aging is serious cognition - thinking and understanding. You have to truly grasp that everybody ages. Everybody dies. There is no turning back the clock. So the question in life becomes: What are you going to do while you're here?

American Actress

Arnold Bennett

There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.

English Novelist

Deepak Chopra

Our minds influence the key activity of the brain, which then influences everything; perception, cognition, thoughts and feelings, personal relationships; they're all a projection of you.

American Speaker

Daphne Bavelier

You can't compare the effect of multimedia-tasking and the effect of playing action games. They have totally different effects on different aspects of cognition, perception and attention.

Scientist

Amitava Kumar

Mistaken identity, of course, has been the province of much postcolonial fiction. An important feature of this writing is the manner in which misrecognition has haunted all cognition.

Indian Writer

Sebastian Thrun

Nobody phrases it this way, but I think that artificial intelligence is almost a humanities discipline. It's really an attempt to understand human intelligence and human cognition.

German Scientist

Brian Ferneyhough

In any case, the fewer boundaries that exist hindering free movement between all forms of articulate human cognition, the better.

British Composer

Paulo Freire

Liberating education consists in acts of cognition, not transferrals of information.

Brazilian Educator

Cognition encompasses not just logical thought but also experiences and sensory perceptions.

Holistic Understanding

Cognition goes beyond memorization to include how we interpret and understand things.

Not Just Remembering

Cognition is an active mental process, not a passive state of knowing.

Active Process

Cognition is crucial for interaction, helping us make sense of the world and communicate effectively.

Interactive Capability

Cognition includes a variety of mental abilities, not just one skill or knowledge type.

Wide Range

Cognition enables problem-solving by using what's known to deal with what's unknown or new.

Problem-Solving Key

In psychology, cognition refers to an array of mental processes central to understanding human behavior.

Psychology Focus

Cognition is key to how we express ideas and understand others, central to communication.

Communicative Foundation

Cognition encompasses more than remembering facts; it's about connecting and applying knowledge.

Beyond Memory

 And you hear a rustle in the grass. Is it a dangerous predator, or is it just the wind? Your next decision could be the most important one of your life. Well, if you think that the rustle in the grass is a dangerous predator and it turns out it's just the wind, you've made an error in cognition, made a Type I error, false positive.
