Below is a selection of entries from the MIT Encyclopedia of the Cognitive Sciences (MITECS). The introduction (number 1, below) explains the scope of the MITECS project and has some useful links, as well. (I have kept all these articles together, linked from this page. A number of them, however, are also linked from other pages, when appropriate. For example, the article on Positron Emission Tomography, below, is also linked from the page on Brain Imaging.) More information about the encyclopedia, subscriptions, etc. is available at http://mitpress.mit.edu/MITECS/
