Neurocognitive Mechanisms: Explaining Biological Cognition
Oxford University Press (2020)
Abstract
Gualtiero Piccinini presents a systematic and rigorous philosophical defence of the computational theory of cognition. His view posits that cognition involves neural computation within multilevel neurocognitive mechanisms, and includes novel ideas about ontology, functions, neural representation, neural computation, and consciousness.Author's Profile
