Synopsis

Drawing on recent research in neurobiology, artificial intelligence, cognitive science and medicine, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the functions and dysfunctions of the brain. It also explains the fundamental concepts behind, and the key discoveries that draw on, neural network computing models, various brain-scanning techniques, neurophysiological studies of animals, behavioural studies, and studies of neurological patients. Throughout, the authors illustrate their points with examples and case studies.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

How do our brains allow us to recognize objects and locate them accurately in space, use mental imagery to remember yesterday's breakfast, read, understand speech, learn to dance, and recall a new telephone number? Recent breakthroughs in brain scanning and computing techniques have allowed researchers to plumb the secrets of the healthy brain's operation; simultaneously, much new information has been learned about the nature and causes of neuropsychological deficits in animals and humans following various sorts of brain damage in different locations. In this first comprehensive, integrated, and accessible overview of recent insights into how the brain gives rise to mental activity, the authors explain the fundamental concepts behind and the key discoveries that draw on neural network computer models, brain scans, and behavioral studies. Drawing on this analysis, the authors also present an intriguing theory of consciousness. In addition, this paperback edition contains an epilogue in which the authors discuss the latest research on emotion and cognition and present new information on working memory.
