Description
"Will brain scientists ever be able to read our minds? Why are some things harder to remember than others? Based on recent brain research and neural network modeling, The Brain-Shaped Mind addresses these and other questions, and provides a clear account of how the structure of the brain influences the workings of the mind. Neuroscientists are now learning about our minds by examining how the neurons in the brain are connected with one another and the surrounding environment. This book explores how neural networks enable us to recognize objects and learn new things, and what happens when things go wrong. The reader is taken on a fascinating journey into what is arguably one of the most complicated and remarkable aspects of our lives."--Jacket.
