Bringing together contributors working on a common problem but addressing differentlevels of brain organization by way of different techniques, The Mind-Brain Continuum seeks todetermine which scientific questions are most pressing as we move toward discovering theneurobiology of psychological processes. As the title implies, contributions are organized aroundthe notion that mental activity is brain activity, providing a broad, integrated view of aparticular subset of brain function. The focus is on sensory perception, processes that includesomatosensory, auditory, and olfactory processes, as well research on vision.Contributors include :Albert S. Bregman. Patricia S. Churchland.

Sensory Processes

The Mind-brain Continuum

To move through the environment safely, a creature must anticipate the outcome of each movement on the basis of incoming sensory data. Thus the capacity to predict is most likely the ultimate brain function. One could even say that Self is the centralization of prediction."--Jacket.
