how we know what we know

he The book introduced below, is the one I am studying and translating nowadays. I strongly recommend it to those who are really fascinated by this amazing world of brain. It talks about cognitive neuroscience form its basic fundamentals. The secod edition was published in January 2010 so it's brand new!!

And you can read the first chapter of the book here.

I have translated the first chapter of the book to Persina and it's available in the following link:

I hope you'll like the book.

the creation of my blog

Soon after starting blogging in persian and using my own blog to talk about my feelings and interests in different fields and stages in my life, I understood that I should have made an English blog which is only related to one of my interests , something that I really love and that is brain.
So today the right time arrived and I am making this weblog to talk about neuroscience and cognitive science. To give and receive information in this field.
You can also refer to my previous blog (which is written in Persain language) to read about my background knowledge in this field.
I hope this can be useful and I can learn from all enthusiastic people out there!
