Memory and the Computational Brain: Why Cognitive Science will Transform Neuroscience
"The book covers wide-ranging ground--indeed, it passes for a computer science or philosophy textbook in places--but it does so in a consistently lucid and engaging fashion." (CHOICE, December 2009)"The authors provide a cogent set of ideas regarding a kind of brain functional architecture that could serve as a thought-provoking alternative to that envisioned by current dogma. If one is seriously concerned with understanding and investigating the brain and how it operates, taking the time to absorb the ideas conveyed in this book is likely to be time well spent." (PsycCRITIQUES, November 2009)"Along with a light complement of fascinating psychological case studies of representations of space and time, and a heavy set of polemical sideswipes at neuroscientists and their hapless computational fellow travelers, this book has the simple goal of persuading us of the importance of a particular information processing mechanism that it claims does not currently occupy center stage."
