In fact, as Dana Ballard argues in this book, computational tools are essential for understanding brain function. Ballard shows that the hierarchical organisation of the brain has many parallels with the hierarchical organisation of computing; as in silicon computing, the complexities of brain computation can be dramatically simplified when its computation is factored into different levels of abstraction.Computational neuroscience.Computational neuroscienceNeurobiologyNEUROSCIENCE/GeneralComputational neuroscience.Neurobiology.612.8/23343Ballard Dana H(Dana Harry),1946-17941OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910827525303321Brain computation as hierarchical abstraction4120110UNINA
