The Norton Illumine Ebook (features to be released in July 2024) can be assigned for points and includes New interactive "Red Q" Check Your Understanding questions with real-time answer-specific feedback, plus a new 3D brain that uses active learning to master challenging neurological processes.

About the author
Elizabeth Phelps is Pershing Square Professor of Human Neuroscience at Harvard University.

By uncovering the impact of emotion and affect on cognition, she aims to both enhance the understanding of cognition broadly and provide insights into social processes and psychological disorders. Phelps has won many research awards, most recently the prestigious George Miller Prize in Cognitive Neuroscience. She has served as president of the Association for Psychological Science, the Social and Affective Neuroscience Society, and the Society for Neuroeconomics.
