Trees of the brain, roots of the mind
"The human brain is often described as the most complex object in the universe. Tens of billions of nerve cells-tiny tree-like structures--make up a massive network with enormous computational power. In this book, Giorgio Ascoli reveals another aspect of the human brain: the stunning beauty of its cellular form. Doing so, he makes a provocative claim about the mind-brain relationship. If each n…

The Anatomy of Bias: How Neural Circuits Weigh the Options
In this engaging, even lyrical, book, Jan Lauwereyns examines the neural underpinnings of decision-making, using 'bias' as his core concept rather than the more common but noncommittal terms 'selection' and 'attention'.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.

Principles of neural design
"Neuroscience research has exploded, with more than fifty thousand neuroscientists applying increasingly advanced methods. A mountain of new facts and mechanisms has emerged. And yet a principled framework to organize this knowledge has been missing. In this book, Peter Sterling and Simon Laughlin, two leading neuroscientists, strive to fill this gap, outlining a set of organizing principles to…

The Brain's Representational Power: On Consciousness and the Integration of M…
Although science has made considerable progress in discovering the neural basis of cognition, how consciousness arises remains elusive. In this book, Pennartz analyzes which aspects of conscious experience can be peeled away to access its core: the relationship between brain processes and the qualitative nature of consciousness. Pennartz traces the problem back to its historical foundations and…
