Brain and Space

How is space represented in the brain? How are spatial relationships encoded in the neural network so as to frame our perception and to orient and guide our actions? How are mental images of the outside world generated? Although these questions have caused endless philosophical controversy, it is only recently that neurophysiology has advanced sufficiently to provide a sound scientific basis for the subject. In this book, leading authorities in the field describe
their latest research, and provide new theoretical insights for the understanding of spatial relationships and cognition.

Zusammenfassung
