Book Description
In the spring of 1987, I was in Havana, Cuba, where I was participating in planning a large-scale longitudinal study of the neurophysiological, neurochemical, and behavioral characteristics of cohorts of patients with cerebrovascular disease, depression, senile dementia, schizophrenia, or learning disabilities; and also part of this study were their first-degree blood relatives. This study was the outgrowth of a long-term project on the practical application of computer methods for the evaluation of brain electrical activity related to anatomical integrity, maturational development, and sensory, perceptual;ยท-and cognitive processes, especially in chil dren. For many years, that project had been supported by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the National Scientific Research Center of Cuba (CNIC), and the Ministries of Public Health and of Education of Cuba. Since its inception, I had served as a technical advisor to the UNDP project. When the project began, I became acquainted with Dr. Jose M. Miyar Barrueco, who was at that time the Rector of the Medical School of the University of Havana. Because of his keen interest in the new computer technology and its potential utility in developing countries, we met from time to time during my visits. These occasional meetings continued after he became Secretary of the Cuban Council of State, so that he could remain apprised of progress and problems with which he might help.

Book Description
With the recent advance of modern technologies applicable for non-invasive investigation of human brain functions, 'localization' or 'specialization' of various functions in the cerebral cortices as well as in the subcortical structures has been elucidated in normal subjects, especially in the last 10 years. These technologies include analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetoencephalogram (MEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), blood flow activation studies using positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (PET), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The findings from these non-invasive investigations, in association with information obtained from clinical observation of patients with localized cerebral lesions (lesion studies), have greatly contributed to the understanding of higher human brain functions. Activation studies, however, often demonstrate multiple areas, not only cerebral cortices but also including subcortical structures, being activated almost at the same time. Therefore, it has become increasingly important to elucidate the functional relationship among different areas, and eventually the neuronal network or circuitry including the information about the direction of circuit flow.

Book Description
The planning of this Study Week at the Pontifical Academy of Science from September 28 to October 4, 1964, began just two years before when the President, Professor Lemaitre, asked me if 1 would be responsible for a Study Week relating Psychology to what we may call the Neurosciences. 1 accepted this responsibility on the understanding that 1 could have as sistance from two colleagues in the Academy, Professors Heymans and Chagas. Besides participating in the Study Week they gave me much needed assistance and advice in the arduous and, at times, perplexing task that 1 had undertaken, and 1 gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness to them. Though there have been in recent years many symposia concerned with the so-called higher functions of the brain, for example with percep tion, learning and conditioning, and with the processing of information in the brain, there has to my knowledge been no symposium specifically with brain functions and consciousness since the memorable treating Laurentian Conference of 1953, which was later published in 1954 as the book, "Brain Mechanisms and Consciousness.
