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. 410 0$aComputational neuroscience. 606 $aComputational neuroscience 606 $aNeurobiology 610 $aNEUROSCIENCE/General 615 0$aComputational neuroscience. 615 0$aNeurobiology. 676 $a612.8/23343 700 $aBallard$b Dana H$g(Dana Harry),$f1946-$017941 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788171203321 996 $aBrain computation as hierarchical abstraction$93869018 997 $aUNINA
