Metacognition is the capacity to reflect upon and evaluate cognition and behaviour. Long of interest to philosophers and psychologists, metacognition has recently become the target of research in the cognitive neurosciences. By combining brain imaging, computational modeling, neuropsychology and insights from psychiatry, the present book offers a picture of the metacognitive functions of the brain. Chapters cover the definition and measurement of metacognition in humans and non-human animals, the computational underpinnings of metacognitive judgments the cognitive neuroscience of self-monitoring ranging from confidence to error-monitoring and neuropsychiatric studies of disorders of metacognition. This book provides an invaluable overview of a rapidly emerging and important field within cognitive neuroscience.

How do you know when you've studied enough to pass an exam? Should you accept the testimony of an eyewitness? How do you know when to trust a doctor's orders? The answer is self awareness. Self awareness is humans' greatest superpower. Like the conductor of an orchestra, self awareness guides the musicians of the mind - memory, creativity, intelligence and skill - to perform at their best. So why do we so often get it wrong? Drawing on his own pioneering studies, as well as cutting-edge research in computer science, psychology and evolutionary biology, Stephen Fleming shows how we can learn from this groundbreaking new science, and gain the edge in a rapidly changing world.

Well, you have been hearing a lot about DevOps lately, wait until you meet a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) ! Google is the pioneer in the SRE movement and Ben Treynor from Google defines SRE as," " what happens when a software engineer is tasked with what used to be called operations". The ongoing struggles between Development and Ops team for software releases have been sorted out by a mathematical formula for green or red-light launches! Sounds interesting, how do you know which the organizations are using Apart from Google, you can find SRE job postings from LinkedIn, Twitter, Uber, Oracle, Twitter and many more. I also enquired about the average salary of a SRE in the USA and all the leading sites gave similar results around $130,000 per year. Also, currently the most sought job titles in the tech domain are DevOps & Site Reliability Engineer. So do you want to know, How SRE works, what are the skill sets required, How a software engineer can transit to SRE role, How LinkedIn used SRE to smoothen the deployment process? Here is your chance to dive into the SRE role and know what it takes to implement best SRE practices. The DevOps, Continuous Delivery and SRE movements are here to stay and grow, its time you to ride the wave! So, don't wait and take action!
