"Bergen, Schroer, and Woodin have done an exemplary job in balancing two elements critical to a book focused on brain research. First, the book maintains a superb balance of technical detail and simple explanation. Second, they effectively communicate neurotechnological advances and methodological applications for educators, parents, and policy makers. Highly recommended!"—Lynn Cohen, Professor in the Department of Special Education and Literacy at Long Island University, USA
