Thought Genesis: The Evolution of Reason - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

In the past few decades, the study of the mind has been radiated in the field of cognitive neuroscience by numerous breakthroughs. At last, scientists have the ability to explain in unparalleled detail the intricate processes taking place inside the human brain. This field of cognitive neuroscience gives us the right tools to decipher the protocols which spawn behaviors, and confirm that our conscious thought is ruled by physiological networks predisposed to their natural environment.

In Thought Genesis, David M. Sternberg takes us through a fascinating multidisciplinary voyage to unearth the very origins of thought. Much like an astrophysicist observes distant celestial objects to look back in time to beginning of the world, Sternberg examines the behaviors of lesser but fascinating species and reveals the very first moments our ancestors became aware and conscious of their environment.

With easy-to-understand language, Sternberg not only discusses how a simple yet fundamental consciousness evolved to the complex human mind, but also raises attractive philosophical conundrums that test the manners in which we perceive the world.

Take a mesmerizing journey into the intricacy of human thought and expand your world with Thought Genesis.

Biografía del autor

David M. Sternberg began working as an IT consultantdeveloper following his graduation from the University of Western Ontario. During his academic years he grew fascinated with human intelligence and in particularly the implementation of adaptive learning networks to future technologies. Realizing that to be fully innovative with artificial intelligence he first had to thoroughly understand the development and evolution of intelligent behaviors in nature, he embarked on an independent study into the field of neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience. He is currently continuing his research while working on potential adaptive learning systems in the goal of eventually developing systems that are superior in their efficiency and their effectiveness of analyzing complex data.
