Memory and the Computational Brain offers a provocative argument that goes to the heart of neuroscience, proposing that the field can and should benefit from the recent advances of cognitive science and the development of information theory over the course of the last several decades.
- A provocative
argument that impacts across the fields of linguistics, cognitive
science, and neuroscience, suggesting new perspectives on learning
mechanisms in the brain
- Proposes that the field of neuroscience
can and should benefit from the recent advances of cognitive science
and the development of information theory
- Suggests that the
architecture of the brain is structured precisely for learning and for
memory, and integrates the concept of an addressable read/write memory
mechanism into the foundations of neuroscience
- Based on
lectures in the prestigious Blackwell-Maryland Lectures in Language and
Cognition, and now significantly reworked and expanded to make it ideal
for students and faculty
