"The editors of this book have been doing research in this field throughout their careers and have co-authored two of the 16 chapters. Andrew Scholey, PhD, is a professor of behavioral and brain sciences and Con Stough, PhD, is a professor of cognitive neuroscience. Together they direct the Centre for Human Psychopharmacology at Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia. As a psychopharmacologist, I read and enjoyed every page, and I think others will too."
