The Metaphorical Brain 2: Neural Networks and Beyond
TLDR
Using metaphors to describe the brain, distributed interactions are depicted that underlie intelligence in the human, animal, or machine (robot) and basic ideas about neural networks are covered, both artificial and biological.Abstract:
From the Publisher:
Shows how highly distributed cooperative computation deepens our understanding of the human mind/brain and catalyzes the development of computing machinery. Using metaphors to describe the brain, distributed interactions are depicted that underlie intelligence in the human, animal, or machine (robot). Covers basic ideas about neural networks, both artificial and biological. Models are provided to show how the brain works, and the schemas which mediate our perception, knowledge, and action.read more

Origins of the Modern Mind: Three Stages in the Evolution of Culture and Cognition
TL;DR: This book discusses the need for a theory of cognitive evolution as an emergent phenomenon culture as evidence for cognitive structure and the transition from episodic to mimetic culture, which is the missing link in human cognition without language.

Modeling parietal-premotor interactions in primate control of grasping
Andrew H. Fagg,Michael A. Arbib +1 more
TL;DR: The FARS model of the cortical involvement in grasping is presented, a model which focuses on the interaction between anterior intra-parietal area (AIP) and premotor area F5, and demonstrates not only that posterior parietal cortex is a network of interacting subsystems, but also that it functions through a pattern of "cooperative computation" with a multiplicity of other brain regions.
