Description
From Brain Dynamics to the Mind: Spatiotemporal Neuroscience explores how the self and consciousness is related to neural events. Sections in the book cover existing models used to describe the mind/brain problem, recent research on brain mechanisms and processes and what they tell us about the self, consciousness and psychiatric disorders. The book presents a spatiotemporal approach to understanding the brain and the implications for artificial intelligence, novel therapies for psychiatric disorders, and for ethical, societal and philosophical issues.Pulling concepts from neuroscience, psychology and philosophy, the book presents a modern and complete look at what we know, what we can surmise, and what we may never know about the distinction between brain and mind.- Reviews models of understanding the mind/brain problem- Identifies neural processes involved in consciousness, sense of self and brain function- Includes concepts and research from neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science and philosophy- Discusses implications for AI, novel therapies for psychiatric disorders and issues of ethics- Suggests experimental designs and data analyses for future research on the mind/brain issue
