This book examines what seems to be the basic challenge in neuroscience
today: understanding how experience generated by the human brain is
related to the physical world we live in. The 25 short chapters present
the argument and evidence that brains address this problem on a wholly
trial and error basis.
The goal is to encourage neuroscientists, computer scientists,
philosophers, and other interested readers to consider this concept of
neural function and its implications, not least of which is the
conclusion that brains don't "compute."
