About this product
Product Information
This book examines what seems to be the basic challenge in neuroscience today: understanding how experience generated by the human brain is related to the physical world we live in. The 25 short chapters present the argument and evidence that brains address this problem on a wholly trial and error basis. The goal is to encourage neuroscientists, computer scientists, philosophers, and other interested readers to consider this concept of neural function and its implications, not least of which is the conclusion that brains don't "compute."

Cd set arrived quickly and in better condition than described it was actually brand new and still sealed. Seller was also nice enough to offer me the item at a discounted lower price than listed which saved me a few coins lol but overall everything went smoothly and given the opportunity I’d buy from them again. A+++ service 💯

I will definitely visit this site again. Buy here with confidence! My highest recommendation! A++++
