Cognitive and Brain Sciences: Books

This text is the first historical survey to focus on the cohesions and discontinuities between historical and contemporary thinkers working in philosophy, physiology, psychology, and neuroscience. The book introduces and analyzes early discussions of consciousness, such as: metaphysical alternatives to scientific explanations of consciousness and its connection to brain activity; claims about the possibilities and limits of neuroscientific accounts of consciousness and cognition; and the proposition of a "non-reductive naturalism" concerning phenomenal consciousness and rationality.

This book provides a systematic and comprehensive overview of AI and machine learning which have got the ability to identify patterns in large and complex data sets. A remarkable success has been experienced in the last decade by emulating the brain computer interface. It presents the cognitive science methods and technologies that have played an important role at the core of practical solutions for a wide scope of tasks between handheld apps, industrial process control, autonomous vehicles, environmental policies, life sciences, playing computer games, computational theory, and engineering development. The chapters in this book focuses on audiences interested in machine learning, cognitive and neuro-inspired computational systems, their theories, mechanisms, and architecture, which underline human and animal behaviour, and their application to conscious and intelligent systems.
