Community Series in Neurobiological Biomarkers for Developing Novel Treatments of Substance and Non-Substance Addiction, volume II
This Research Topic is the second volume of the 'Community Series in Neurobiological Biomarkers for Developing Novel Treatments of Substance and Non-Substance Addiction'. Please see the first volume here. Many people suffer from substance (from nicotine or alcohol to heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, etc) or non-substance (from gaming/gambling to shopping, internet, smartphone, etc) addiction. Both types of addiction are associated with severe health, economic and social consequences and are far too often result in both familial and personal tragedies.

Face Perception across the Life-Span
Face perception is a highly evolved visual skills in humans. This complex ability develops across the life-span, steeply rising in infancy, refining across childhood and adolescence, reaching highest levels in adulthood and declining in old age. As such, the development of face perception comprises multiple skills, including sensory (e.g., mechanisms of holistic, configural and featural perception), cognitive (e.g., memory, processing speed, attentional control), and also emotional and social (e.g., reading and interpreting facial expression) domains. Whereas our understanding of specific functional domains involved in face perception is growing, there is further pressing demand for a multid...
Toward a General Theory of Acting
Toward a General Theory of Acting explores the actor's art through the lens of Dynamic Systems Theory and recent findings in the Cognitive Sciences. An analysis of different theories of acting in the West from Stanislavski to Lecoq is followed by an in depth discussion of technique, improvisation, and creating a score. In the final chapter, the focus shifts to how these three are interwoven when the actor steps in front of an audience, whether performing realist, non-realist, or postdramatic theatre. Far from using the sciences to reduce acting to a formula, Lutterbie celebrates the mystery of the creative process.

Can You Learn to Be Lucky?
“I don't know when I've been so wowed by a new author” –Chip Health, co-author of The Power of Moments and Switch A talented journalist reveals the hidden patterns behind what we call "luck" -- and shows us how we can all improve outcomes despite life’s inevitable randomness. "Do you believe in luck?" is a polarizing question, one you might ask on a first date. Some of us believe that we make our own luck. Others see inequality everywhere and think that everyone’s fate is at the whim of the cosmos. Karla Starr has a third answer: unlucky, "random" outcomes have predictable effects on our behavior that often make us act in self-defeating ways without even realizing it. In this groun...
