Mental Processes in the Human Brain Discussion Meeting By Professor Jon Driver, Professor Patrick Haggard and Professor Tim Shallice FRS Scientific study of the human mind and brain has come of age, with the advent of methods for imaging brain activity in health and disease, plus computational theories of cognition.
