The Brain, In Theory [#1010572]

Name: The Brain, In Theory
Author: book24h

Why engineering and computational analogies are poorly suited to the study of biological cognition
Mainstream theories of the brain are often expressed through engineering concepts-computation, code, control, reverse-engineering, optimization. These theories cast the living organism as a machine and the brain as a computer. The fact that cognition is a biological phenomenon seems merely anecdotal; biology is considered just "implementation." InThe Brain, In Theory, Romain Brette argues that the brain is not a "biological computer" because living organisms are not engineered. Engineering is the use of knowledge to solve technical problems, to build an artifact with a plan. But, Brette reminds us, Darwin's insight is precisely that evolution isnota case of engineering. Unlike engineering, evolution has no predetermined goals, plans, or knowledge.
Brette reviews the main theoretical frameworks for thinking about the brain, including computation, neural representations, information, and prediction, and finds them poorly suited to the study of biological cognition. He proposes understanding the brain as a self-organized, developing community of living entities rather than an optimized assembly of machine components. With this new perspective, Brette brings life back to the study of the brain and cognition.
