Over the past two decades the biomedical sciences have been revolutionized by databases, data mining and data modeling techniques. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eHuman Genome Project,\u003c\/em\u003e which depended on informatics methods, has been the most well recognized bioinformatics undertaking. Bioinformatics has since been applied all across biology and medicine, and has also transformed almost every avenue in neuroscience. Yet in neuropsychology, NI perspectives remain largely unrealized. Ironically, NI offers enormous potential to the essential praxis of neuropsychology - assessing cognitive behavior and relating cognition to neural systems. Neuroinformatics can be applied to neuropsychology as richly as it has been applied across the neurosciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNeuroinformatics for Neuropsychology\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book to explain the relevance and value of NI to neuropsychology.
