  • Cognitive Phase Transitions in the Cerebral Cortex - Enhancing the Neuron Doctrine by Modeling Neural Fields

    by Robert Kozma, Walter J. Freeman ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This intriguing book was born out of the many discussions the authors had in the past 10 years about the role of scale-free structure and dynamics in producing intelligent behavior in brains.The microscopic dynamics of neural networks is well described by the prevailing paradigm based in a narrow interpretation of the neuron doctrine. This book broadens the doctrine by incorporating the dynamics ... Read more

  • Self-Organizing Complexity in Psychological Systems

    by Stanley R. Palombo, Walter J. Freeman, Jim Grigsby, Jeffrey Goldstein, E Virginia Demos, John Muller ...
    Series series Psychological Issues
    This volume addresses itself to the ways in which the so-called 'new sciences of complexity' can deepen and broaden neurobiological and psychological theories of mind. Complexity theory has gained increasing attention over the past 20 years across diverse areas of inquiry, including mathematics, physics, economics, biology, and the social sciences. Complexity theory concerns itself with how ... Read more

  • Your Brain Is a Time Machine

    The Neuroscience and Physics of Time

    by Dean Buonomano ...
    "Beautifully written, eloquently reasoned…Mr. Buonomano takes us off and running on an edifying scientific journey." —Carol Tavris, Wall Street JournalIn Your Brain Is a Time Machine, leading neuroscientist Dean Buonomano embarks on an "immensely engaging" exploration of how time works inside the brain (Barbara Kiser, Nature). The human brain, he argues, is a complex system that not only tells ... Read more

  • Rhythms of the Brain

    by Gyorgy Buzsaki ...
    Studies of mechanisms in the brain that allow complicated things to happen in a coordinated fashion have produced some of the most spectacular discoveries in neuroscience. This book provides eloquent support for the idea that spontaneous neuron activity, far from being mere noise, is actually the source of our cognitive abilities. It takes a fresh look at the co-evolution of structure and function ... Read more

  • The Neural Basis of Free Will

    Criterial Causation

    by Peter Ulric Tse ...
    A neuroscientific perspective on the mind–body problem that focuses on how the brain actually accomplishes mental causation.The issues of mental causation, consciousness, and free will have vexed philosophers since Plato. In this book, Peter Tse examines these unresolved issues from a neuroscientific perspective. In contrast with philosophers who use logic rather than data to argue whether mental ... 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

  • The Cortex and the Critical Point

    Understanding the Power of Emergence

    by John M. Beggs ...
    How the cerebral cortex operates near a critical phase transition point for optimum performance.Individual neurons have limited computational powers, but when they work together, it is almost like magic. Firing synchronously and then breaking off to improvise by themselves, they can be paradoxically both independent and interdependent. This happens near the critical point: when neurons are poised ...
