Cover image: This image is a lithograph by F. Schima from a drawing by Sigmund Freud of the spinal ganglion of the lamprey Petromyzon. Before he discovered the unconscious, Freud had a promising career as a neural scientist. The cover thus recognizes that, a century after Freud's discovery, progress in the study of cognition has reemphasized the importance of unconscious mental processes for perception and action.
