Large-Scale Neuronal Theories of the Brain brings together thirteen originalcontributions by some of the top scientists working in neuroscience today. It presents models andtheories that will most likely shape and influence the way we think about the brain, the mind, andinteractions between the two in the years to come. Chapters consider global theories of the brainfrom the bottom up -- providing theories that are based on real nerve cells, their firingproperties, and their anatomical connections. This contrasts with attempts that have been made bypsychologists and by theorists in the artificial intelligence community to understand the brainstrictly from a psychological or computational point of view.The authors encompass a broadbackground, from biophysics and electrophysiology to psychophysics, neurology, and computationalvision. However, all the chapters focus on a common issue: the role of the primate (including human)cerebral cortex in memory, visual perception, focal attention, and awareness.Contributors : HoraceBarlow.

Store description
We are a husband-and-wife team united by a lifelong passion for books. Our journey into bookselling began in 2003, sparked when one of us left graduate school to follow her dream of becoming a teacher. To help fund this new chapter, she started by selling her college textbooks online, and from there, our adventure into bookselling quickly blossomed. Our seller name, digger-dogger, reflects our deep love for dogs and is inspired by the playful nickname of one of our beloved Old English Sheepdogs. This spirited dog famously burrowed beneath our backyard deck, creating a cool and shady den to relax in—her "digger-dogger" antics becoming part of family lore. Over the past two decades, we've dedicated ourselves to curating a unique collection with a strong focus on non-fiction titles, especially rare, out-of-print, and specialized-topic books. We take pride in connecting our customers with the knowledge and stories they've been searching for, from academic subjects and professional resources to niche interests and historical explorations. Every order receives personal care, reflecting our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Thank you for exploring our bookstore—we hope you find your next treasured read here.…
