"Provocative and timely: a pioneering neurocriminologist introduces the latest biological research into the causes of--and potential cures for--criminal behavior. A leading criminologist who specializes in the neuroscience behind criminal behavior, Adrian Raine introduces a wide…
"Das kleine Buch vom Gehirn" stellt einfach, kurz und immer nah an den Alltagserfahrungen Aufbau und Funktion des Gehirns dar. Wir leben in den Zeiten der Neurowissenschaft. Dennoch fehlt den meisten von uns ein wirklich grundlegendes Verständnis des Gehirns. Daran haben auch di…
A new theory is taking hold in neuroscience. It is the theory that the brain is essentially a hypothesis-testing mechanism, one that attempts to minimise the error of its predictions about the sensory input it receives from the world. It is an attractive theory because powerful …

Here, Chris Eliasmith presents a new approach to understanding the neural implementation of cognition in a way that is centrally driven by biological considerations. According to the semantic pointer hypothesis, higher-level cognitive functions in biological systems are made pos…
One goal of researchers in neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence is to build theoretical models that are able to explain the flexibility and adaptiveness of biological systems. How to build a brain provides a detailed guided exploration of a new cognitive archite…
In recent years, the advent of MRI technology seems to have unlocked the secrets of the human mind, revealing the sources of our deepest desires, intentions, and fears. In this book, the authors argue that the explanatory power of brain scans in particular and neuroscience more …
The intersection between the fields of behavioral decision research and neuroscience has proved to be fertile ground for interdisciplinary research. Whereas the former is rich in formalized models of choice, the latter is rife with techniques for testing behavioral models at the…
This volume€capitalizes on recent advances in the neurosciences to address key issues in behavioral decision theory, with implications for psychology, economics, and law. Drawing on the insights of leading researchers, it provides a broad overview of how decision processes may b…
This textbook bridges the disciplines of neuroscience and psychology to provide students with a clear path to understand the latest findings in this emerging field.
"Explores the challenges to constitutional values posed by sweeping technological changes such as social networks, brain scans, and genetic selection and suggests ways of preserving rights, including privacy, free speech, and dignity in the age of Facebook and Google"--
