Writing assignment:
Research Evaluation Essay

The essay should describe and critically evaluate the hypotheses and findings/conclusions from at least 2 closely
related papers in a specific area of Cognitive Neuroscience/Neuropsychology. The papers should come from peer-reviewed journals in the current scientific literature. The topic must include an area of study in which measurements or manipulation of brain activity (e.g., the lesion method, fMRI, EEG, etc.) are combined with controlled cognitive tasks (e.g., Stroop, mental rotation, object recognition, etc.). Ask me if you are not sure your topic/articles are suitable for this assignment.
