Those of us who study the cognitive neuroscience of memory have been waiting for Dr. Corkin to publish this book for a while. I'm looking forward to reading through. Regarding another commenter's concerns about ensuring that severely amnesic patients are fairly compensated and participating of their own free will, this is a complex issue that those of us who study such patients deal with frequently. I can say of my own experience that patients we work with volunteer their time willingly, are remunerated for their participation, and can discontinue any task at any time. It's a privilege to work with people who have such a focal neuropsychologial deficit, and we take our responsibility for each patient's welfare during their time with us very seriously.
