The first volume Neural Correlates of Thinking is edited by Eduard Kraft, Ernst Pöppel – both Parmenides Center for the Study of Thinking in Munich – and Balázs Gulyás, a neuroscientist at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden.
The book aims to provide an overview of present attempts to identify neural mechanisms underlying thinking and reasoning operations. It is a concise introduction into the potential and limitations of imaging techniques to shed light on the question of how human thinking is implemented in the brain. ->see Springer
The second volume entitled Towards a Theory of Thinking pursues a multidisciplinary approach and presents a diverse range of perspectives on thinking from philosophy, experimental and developmental psychology, neuro- and cognitive science, cognitive linguistics, evolutionary anthropology and biology. The underlying hypothesis is that a fully-fledged multi-layer theory of thinking must be drawing on all of these disciplines, methodologies, and different levels of investigation and explanation.
Editors of the second volume are Britt Glatzeder, Vinod Goel, and Albrecht von Müller. Vinod Goel is professor of cognitive neuroscience at York University, Toronto; Britt Glatzeder and Albrecht von Müller are both doctors of philosophy at the Parmenides Center for the Study of Thinking. The second volume has been released in March 2010. ->see Springer
