Scienti fi c Life Emerging Opportunities for Advancing Cognitive Neuroscience

As an emergent discipline between cognitive psychology and neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience (CN) aims to explain relationships among neural systems, psychological states or processes, and behavior. At its best, it does so with few linking hypotheses, relying on studies that propel the field forward by adding to existing knowledge or revising prior conceptions. There is little doubt that the field will advance if it continues in this manner.
