Gy�rgy Buzs�kis The Brain from Inside Out examines why the outside-in framework for understanding brain function have become stagnate and points to new directions for understanding neural function. Building upon the success of Rhythms of the Brain, Professor Buzs�ki presents the brain as a foretelling device that interacts with its environment through action and the examination of actions consequence. Instead of a brain that represents the world, consider that it is initially filled with nonsense patterns, all of which are gibberish until grounded by action-based interactions. By matching these nonsense words to the outcomes of action, they acquire meaning. The Brain from Inside Out explains why our brain is not an information-absorbing coding device, as it is often portrayed, but a venture seeking explorer constantly controlling the body to test hypotheses. Our brain does not process information: it creates it.About author(s):Gy�rgy Buzs�ki is Biggs Professor of Neuroscience at New York University.Member of the National Academy of Sciences USA, Co-recipient of the 2011 Brain Prize.His main interest is neural syntax, how segmentation of neural information is organized to support cognitive functions.Book: G.
