Demystifying the BrainA Computational Approach /[electronic resource] :by V. Srinivasa Chakravarthy. - 1st ed. 2019. - XVII, 378 p. 162 illus., 101 illus. in color.online resource.

Chapter 1. Brain Ideas Through the Centuries -- Chapter 2. Brain – Through the Aeons -- Chapter 3. The World at the Level of a Neuron -- Chapter 4. Networks that Learn -- Chapter 5. Memories and Holograms -- Chapter 6. Maps, Maps Everywhere -- Chapter 7. Pathways of Light -- Chapter 8. This Palpable World -- Chapter 9. On Sound and Music -- Chapter 10. Sniffing at the World -- Chapter 11. Get, Set, Action -- Chapter 12. Circuits of Emotion -- Chapter 13. A Gossamer of Words -- Chapter 14. The Stuff that Minds are Made of -- Chapter 15. Mindware. .

This book presents an emerging new vision of the brain, which is essentially expressed in computational terms, for non-experts. As such, it presents the fundamental concepts of neuroscience in simple language, without overwhelming non-biologists with excessive biological jargon. In addition, the book presents a novel computational perspective on the brain for biologists, without resorting to complex mathematical equations. It addresses a comprehensive range of topics, starting with the history of neuroscience, the function of the individual neuron, the various kinds of neural network models that can explain diverse neural phenomena, sensory-motor function, language, emotions, and concluding with the latest theories on consciousness. The book offers readers a panoramic introduction to the “new brain” and a valuable resource for interdisciplinary researchers looking to gatecrash the world of neuroscience.
