Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"How billions of neurons come together to turn thought into action is astounding in itself, but cognitive neuroscientist David Badre takes this to new levels in his book."---Amy Barrett, BBC Science Focus Magazine
"On Task is a stimulating, enjoyable read for anyone interested in brain function, particularly if you want to understand how researchers are attempting to unravel some of the biggest mysteries of them all: how humans think, how they are successful when confronted with new challenges and how prefrontal cortex might contribute to that success."---Masud Husain, Brain
"Badre provides a thorough and engaging introduction to the history of the study of cognitive control, and an overview of new developments from the last 20 years."---Zsuzsa Kaldy, Current Biology
"I would definitely recommend On Task to anyone who is interested in metacognition and understanding how your brain makes decisions."---Leslie Hamachi, Chemistry World
