Brain and Perception: Holonomy and Structure in Figural Processing: Distinguished Lecture Series
Autor Karl H. Pribramen Limba Engleză Hardback – iun 1991
1) It integrates the results of the author's research as applied to pattern perception -- reviewing current brain research and showing how several lines of inquiry have been converging to produce a paradigm shift in our understanding of the neural basis of figural perception.
2) It updates the holographic hypothesis of brain function in perception.
3) It emphasizes the fact that both distributed (holistic) and localized (structural) processes characterize brain function.
4) It portrays a neural systems analysis of brain organization in figural perception by computational models -- describing processing in terms of formalisms found useful in ordering data in 20th-century physical and engineering sciences.
The lectures are divided into three parts: a Prolegomenon outlining a theoretical framework for the presentation; Part I dealing with the configural aspects of perception; and Part II presenting its cognitive aspects. The appendices were developed in a collaborative effort by the author, Kunio Yasue, and Mari Jibu (both of Notre Dame Seishin University of Okayama, Japan).

Recenzii
"...this book should rapidly gain recognition as a groundbreaking work of the first order and an indispensable text in the areas Pribram covers....equally indispensable as a major first step toward the integration of brain, mind, and universe into a single comprehensible system."
—World Futures
"Although most investigators are aware of the problem and of the importance of attaining a resolution, few have risen to the challenge, and even fewer have done so quite as strikingly as Pribram."
