Abstract

This chapter evaluates the validity of arguments used to discount the utility of functional imaging. It also presents some epistemological arguments to highlight the mutual interdependence of cognitive neuroscience and cognitive psychology. Consideration of these points suggests that although there are conceptual and methodological challenges that psychologists must address before the potential benefits of neuroimaging can be realized, imaging data is nonetheless a powerful tool to reconcile concepts of mind and brain, so that we may move beyond the so-called 'black box' models of cognition.
