A A Brain for Innovation by Min W Jung
Min W. Jung offers a new understanding of the neural basis of innovation in terms of humans exceptional capacity for imagination and high-level abstraction.
Although memory, imagination, and planning are discrete concepts, this insightful book by Min WJung, an internationally respected researcher, demonstrates that the brain does not make such distinctions. Written in delightful prose, this volume will spark interest for the specialist and other curious minds alike. -- György Buzsáki, author of Rhythms of the Brain and The Brain from Inside Out
In this wide-ranging and scholarly book, Min W. Jung conveys many of the complexities of modern cognitive neuroscience in an accessible way for readers with minimal scientific background. While his particular focus is on how the human brain became so good at innovation, his broad interests make this book a treat no matter one's background. -- Lynn Nadel, Regents Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Cognitive Science, University of Arizona
A Brain for Innovation is a highly approachable account of how the human brain’s ability to imagine with abstract concepts has been applied to demystify this same ability. After entertaining us with his skillful crisscrossing of neuroscience, AI, and philosophy, Jung also reminds us that imagination is a double-edged sword and must be used cautiously to save our future. -- Daeyeol Lee, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience and Psychological and Brain Sciences, Johns Hopkins University
Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, A seminal study. * Midwest Book Review *
