Memory, Attention, and Decision-Making: A Unifying Computational Neuroscience Approach
Edmund T. Rolls
Abstract
This book presents a unified approach to understanding memory, attention, and decision-making. 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 impor ... More
Keywords: atention, decision-making, computational neuroscience, emotion, vision, visual object recognition, perception, taste, smell, short-term memory
