How Can the Human Mind Occur in the Physical Universe?

Zusatztext The mission of cognitive neuroscience is (or at least should be) to connect cognition with neural function! to explain how gray matter gives rise to the psychology of thought. Where many people settle for a mere geography - an inventory of what happens where - Anderson aims for something much more ambitious: an understanding of how cognition happens at all. By combining trenchant psychological analysis with well-motivated neuroimaging! Anderson provides a newparadigm for addressing the core questions in cognitive neuroscience. An important step in the science of relating mind and brain. Klappentext The human cognitive architecture consists of a set of largely independent modules associated with different brain regions. This book discusses in detail how these various modules can combine to produce behaviours as varied as driving a car and solving an algebraic equation.
