Synopsis
When one is immersed in the fascinating world of neuroscience findings, the brain might start to seem like a collection of "modules," each specializes in a specific mental feat. But just like in other domains of Nature, it is possible that much of the brain and mind's operation can be explained with a small set of universal principles. Given exciting recent developments, it seems that the generation of predictions might be one strong candidate for such a universal principle. This is the focus of Predictions in the brain. From the predictions required when a rat navigates a maze to food-caching in scrub-jays; from predictions essential in decision-making to social interactions; from predictions in the retina to the prefrontal cortex; and from predictions in early development to foresight in non-humans. In addition to presenting the state-of-the-art of research and ideas about predictions in mind and brain, it is hoped that this collection will stimulate important new research into the foundations of our mental lives., When one is immersed in the fascinating world of neuroscience findings, the brain might start to seem like a collection of "modules," each specializes in a specific mental feat.

From the predictions required when a rat navigates a maze to food-caching in scrub-jays; from predictions essential in decision-making to social interactions; from predictions in the retina to the prefrontal cortex; and from predictions in early development to foresight in non-humans. The perspectives represented in this collection span a spectrum from the cellular underpinnings to the computational principles underlying future-related mental processes, and from systems neuroscience to cognition and emotion. In spite of this diversity, they share some core elements. Memory, for instance, is critical in any framework that explains predictions. In asking "what is next?" our brains have to refer to memory and experience on the way to simulating our mental future. But as much as this collection offers answers to important questions, it raises and emphasizes outstanding ones. How are experiences coded optimally to afford using them for predictions? How do we construct a new simulation from separate memories? How specific in detail are future-oriented thoughts, and when do they rely on imagery, concepts or language? Therefore, in addition to presenting the state-of-the-art of research and ideas about predictions as a universal principle in mind and brain, it is hoped that this collection will stimulate important new research into the foundations of our mental lives., When one is immersed in the fascinating world of neuroscience findings, the brain might start to seem like a collection of "modules," each specializes in a specific mental feat.

    Perfect! Very fair pricing and well-ordered packaging, and well-kept product. It was very clean and in good condition as described. The shipping arrived 1 month ahead of time. I would absolutely love to buy again from them in the future, as a fellow lover of literature. Highly recommend and commend them for their great work!

    Arrived extremely well packaged, with multiple layers of various protections around the book itself. No free space in box to bump about in transit. Book is in “New” condition, as described; as if it came out of shrink wrap yesterday. It was prepared for shipping in the manner that an expensive, hardbound edition deserves, by people who respect books, and the customer. Price point was very fair. Absolute professionals. I would buy from this seller again, with complete confidence.

    Informative & reliable description & pictures of books, very fair price for books & shipping, books better than rated ("good"). Packaged in a way that is a feast for everyone who loves BOOKS. The way the flyingpigpickers pay attention to the decisive detail in every aspect of bookish matters reveal that they are true booklovers themselves & a first address for those who share the same passion. Highly recommended & see you soon again. Yes, I am enthusiastic. I send my best wishes from oversea
