... For each technology, the committee identified critical problems that must be resolved if further progress is to be made; estimated the likelihood that such progress will be made; and discussed opportunities for basic and applied research. The comm~ttee also discussed the implementation of an enlarged discipline called cognitive neuroscience that combines psychophysiology, cognitive psychology, and computer modeling.

... In addition, further research is needed to increase understanding of the dynamic patterns of activity in cortical neuronal processing as they relate to human behavior. The committee recommends consideration of postdoctoral training programs to encourage interdisciplinary research in cognitive neuroscience.

... . The committee concludes that the tune is ripe for a hybrid psychophysiological-cognitive science approach to the study of brain functions and behavior and recommends an enlarged study of the interrelationship between cognitive science and neuroscience.
