Brain-Mind: From Neurons to Consciousness and Creativity Treatise on Mind and Society Thagard Paul
How do brains make minds? Neural mechanisms are used to explain mental operations for analogy, action, intention, language, and the self.Brain-Mind develops a brilliant account of mental operations using promising new ideas from theoretical neuroscience. Paul Thagard presents a unified, brain-based theory of cognition and emotion with applications to the most complex kinds of thinking, right up to consciousness and creativity.
Competing explanations of how the mind works have identified it as soul, computer, brain, dynamical system, or social construction. This book Single neurons cannot do much by themselves, but groups of neurons work together to accomplish powerful kinds of mental representation, including concepts, images, and rules.Minds enable people to perceive, imagine, solve problems, understand, learn, speak, reason, create, and be emotional and conscious.
