  • Principles Of Organization In Organisms

    by Jay E. Mittenthal, Arthur B. Baskin ...
    Based on a workshop held at the Santa Fe Institute in June, 1990, this book explores structure in organisms—both physical and dynamical—and presents the current status of the search for natural pathways, principles of organization, and the theory of design for organisms. Topics discussed include dynamical systems analysis; the pathways of evolution; development, physiology, and functional ... Read more

  • Free Agents

    How Evolution Gave Us Free Will

    by Kevin Mitchell ...
    An evolutionary case for the existence of free willScientists are learning more and more about how brain activity controls behavior and how neural circuits weigh alternatives and initiate actions. As we probe ever deeper into the mechanics of decision making, many conclude that agency—or free will—is an illusion. In Free Agents, leading neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell presents a wealth of evidence ... Read more

  • I of the Vortex

    From Neurons to Self

    by Rodolfo R. Llinas ...
    A highly original theory of how the mind-brain works, based on the author's study of single neuronal cells.In I of the Vortex, Rodolfo Llinas, a founding father of modern brain science, presents an original view of the evolution and nature of mind. According to Llinas, the "mindness state" evolved to allow predictive interactions between mobile creatures and their environment. He illustrates the ... Read more

  • The Origins of Order

    Self-Organization and Selection in Evolution

    by Stuart A. Kauffman ...
    Stuart Kauffman here presents a brilliant new paradigm for evolutionary biology, one that extends the basic concepts of Darwinian evolution to accommodate recent findings and perspectives from the fields of biology, physics, chemistry and mathematics. The book drives to the heart of the exciting debate on the origins of life and maintenance of order in complex biological systems. It focuses on the ... Read more

  • In Search of Mechanisms

    Discoveries across the Life Sciences

    by Carl F. Craver, Lindley Darden ...
    Neuroscientists investigate the mechanisms of spatial memory. Molecular biologists study the mechanisms of protein synthesis and the myriad mechanisms of gene regulation. Ecologists study nutrient cycling mechanisms and their devastating imbalances in estuaries such as the Chesapeake Bay. In fact, much of biology and its history involves biologists constructing, evaluating, and revising their ... Read more

  • The Brain, In Theory

    by Romain Brette ...
    Why engineering and computational analogies are poorly suited to the study of biological cognitionMainstream theories of the brain are often expressed through engineering concepts—computation, code, control, reverse-engineering, optimization. These theories cast the living organism as a machine and the brain as a computer. The fact that cognition is a biological phenomenon seems merely anecdotal; ... Read more

  • From Matter to Life

    Information and Causality

    Edited by Sara Imari Walker, Paul C. W. Davies, George F. R. Ellis ...
    Recent advances suggest that the concept of information might hold the key to unravelling the mystery of life's nature and origin. Fresh insights from a broad and authoritative range of articulate and respected experts focus on the transition from matter to life, and hence reconcile the deep conceptual schism between the way we describe physical and biological systems. A unique cross-disciplinary ... Read more

  • Kinematics of the Brain Activities

    by Mostafa M. Dini ...
    The brain, as it was popular for years, is not a computer. The brain structure and mechanism are developed by evolutionary roles of nature. Basic physical roles in nature as well as tendencies in plants and instincts in animals are previous ways for integration with nature. The evolution of hard relations between substances to biological soft behaviors of life can be traced along with evolution of ... Read more

  • The Strategy of the Genes

    by C.H. Waddington ...
    Series series Routledge Library Editions: 20th Century Science
    First published in 1957, this essential classic work bridged the gap between analytical and theoretical biology, thus setting the insights of the former in a context which more sensitively reflects the ambiguities surrounding many of its core concepts and objectives.Specifically, these five essays are concerned with some of the major problems of classical biology: the precise character of ...
