With some trepidation, I'm putting this out into the world:
gershmanlab.com/textbook.html
It's a textbook called Computational Foundations of Cognitive Neuroscience, which I wrote for my class.

My hope is that this will be a living document, continuously improved as I get feedback.

Did you know the heart imprints onto the voice? New preprint spearheaded by Marijn Hafkamp, confirming (seemingly forgotten) research from the 80's and testing for the first time possible biomechanical mechanisms (evidence points to heart-lung-voice interactions).
