Memory, Attention, and Decision-Making: A Unifying Computational Neuroscience Approach

Autor Edmund T. Rolls
en Limba Engleză Hardback – aug 2007
Memory, attention, and decision-making are three major areas of psychology. They are frequently studied in isolation, and using a range of models to understand them. This book brings a unified approach to understanding these three processes. It shows how these fundamental functions for cognitive neuroscience can be understood in a common and unifying computational neuroscience framework. This framework links empirical research on brain function from neurophysiology, functional neuroimaging, and the effects of brain damage, to a description of how neural networks in the brain implement these functions using a set of common principles. The book describes the principles of operation of these networks, and how they could implement such important functions as memory, attention, and decision-making.The topics covered includeThe hippocampus and memoryReward and punishment related learning: emotion and motivationVisual object recognition learningShort term memoryAttention, short term memory, and biased competitionProbabilistic decision-makingAction selectionDecision-makingAlso included are tutorial appendices onNeural networks in the brainNeural encoding in the brain'Memory, Attention and Decision-Making' will be valuable for those in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive neuroscience from advanced undergraduate level upwards. It will also be of interest to those interested in neuroeconomics, animal behaviour, zoology, evolutionary biology, psychiatry, medicine, and philosophy. The book has been written with modular chapters and sections, making it possible to select particular Chapters for course work.

Recenzii

It is a majestic work, underpinned by a frightening capacity for memory and research and a sinuous flair for exegesis. The industry behind the text is clear, astonishing, laudable and often breath-taking.
The main strength of this book, compared to similar computational neuroscience books, is the functional, practical, and clinical links that are made to theoretical and computational models. The overall significance and contribution of computational neuroscience in quite apparent and the marriage of these models with neuropsychology and neuroimaging is well conceived.

Notă biografică

Edmund T. Rolls is Professor of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, and a Fellow and Tutor of Corpus Christi College, Oxford. He read preclinical medicine at the University of Cambridge, and now performs research in neuroscience at Oxford. His research links neurophysiological and computational neuroscience approaches to human functional neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies in order to provide a fundamental basis for understanding human brain function and its disorders. He is author of The Brain and Emotion (1999, Oxford University Press), with A.Treves of Neural Networks and Brain Function (1998, Oxford University Press), with G.Deco of Computational Neuroscience of Vision (2002, Oxford University Press) and Emotion Explained (2005, Oxford University Press).
