Roots of social sensibility and neural function
"A Bradford book."We are social animals, with evolved mechanisms to discern the beliefs and desires of others.

Seeing and visualizing :it's not what you think
"In Seeing and Visualizing Zenon Pylyshyn argues that seeing is different from thinking and that to see is not, as it may seem intuitively, to create an inner replica of the world.

In doing so, he addresses issues in vision science, cognitive…

The Entangled Brain: How Perception, Cognition, and Emotion Are Woven Together
A new vision of the brain as a fully integrated, networked organ. Popular neuroscience accounts often focus on specific mind-brain aspects like addiction, cognition, or memory, but The Entangled Brain tackles a much bigger question: What kind of object is the brain? Neuroscientist Luiz Pessoa describes the brain as a highly networked, interconnected system that cannot be neatly decomposed in…
