"Johnson and de Haan continue to provide an excellent overview of a vast and fast moving field. The new method for imaging the human brain while at rest provides support for the interactive specialization framework that organizes the research reported in this new edition."
Michael Posner, Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychology and Institute of Neuroscience, University of Oregon
