12 Other Evidence of Impact Harris et al (2000) paper in Brain was included in the 4 th edition of widely used textbook The Human Brain: an Introduction to its Functional Anatomy by John Nolte as a prime example of modern human neuroimaging research. This paper has also been cited more than 185 times to date. Harris et al (2001) paper in Journal of Cognitive Neurscience was recommended on the Faculty of 1000 website ( an online research tool which highlights the most interesting research paper in biological sciences, based on the recommendations of leading scientists in relevant fields. Harris and Miniussi (2003) paper in Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience was written up in an extensive commentary in Trends in Cognitive Sciences (Parsons LM, Superior parietal cortices and varieties of mental rotation. TICS, 7, ). 12
