Mind from Body (eBook, ePUB)

Experience from Neural Structure

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The neural structures of the brain exist to construct information. They do this by creating concepts that relate internal, personal need to external, environmental reality. Meaning is formed in the brain by neural network patterns that traverse these two structures of experience: the visceral nervous system (representing personal need) and the somatic nervous system (interfacing with external reality). The scientific question is how exactly the brain gets from constructing information to creating meaning. The philosophical question is what this process can tell us about the nature of experience. In the proposed book, Don Tucker addresses both of these questions, and in doing so makes an important contribution to both neuroscience and philosophy.
