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.

Industry Reviews

"This very good book on basic neuroscience presents interesting concepts. It is a complete analysis in every way. ... the book will help readers better understand neuroscience-related concepts by broadly presenting and discussing some very interesting questions. It is certainly worth reading." (Jo£o Lus G. Rosa, Computing Reviews, October 28, 2019)
