Brains as engines of association an operating principle for nervous systems

'Brains as Engines of Association' unravels how human brains operate. Based on evidence from vision, audition, speech and music, Purves argues that brains function wholly on the basis of trial and error experience that has been encoded in neural circuitry over evolutionary and individual t...

Based on evidence from vision, audition, speech and music, Purves argues that brains function wholly on the basis of trial and error experience that has been encoded in neural circuitry over evolutionary and individual time. The theory presents a challenge to all neuroscientists
