Reviews

"Predictions in the Brain reviews experimental evidence for substatial overlap between memory recall and future simulation." -- Linnaea Ostroff, Center for Neural Science, New York University
"The final product is stimulating, providing cognitive psychologists and neuroscientists with a comprehensive and updated review of scientific advancements towards the understanding of prediction and its relation to memory... it is a brilliantly compiled collection of essays on how the brain and our cognitive systems attempt to anticipate the future." -- Memory Studies
