The brain from 25,000 feet : high level exploration

by Mark Changizi

Applying a non-reductionist philosophy to brain sciences, this work examines visual illusions, network optimality in anatomy, and the computational limits of language. It offers a high-level perspective on cognitive and behavioural complexity.
