In Posner & Raichle's (1994) book, two essential and strictly related limitations of cognitive
neurophysiology are not sufficiently enhanced:(1) The problem of “coding,” namely the …

PET detects changes in metabolism between task periods and is thus insensitive to areas
that are activated during all or most of cognition. Depth-recorded, evokedpotentials indicate …

Posner & Raichle's (1994) exciting, wonderfully illustrated book describes the past
successes and future potential of the relatively noninvasive imaging of the nervous systems …

Posner & Raichle's Images of mind is an excellent educational book and very well written.
Some flaws as a scientific publication are:(a) the accuracy of the linear subtraction method …
