From Brain Dynamics to the Mind by Georg Northoff
From Brain Dynamics to the Mind: Spatiotemporal Neuroscience explores how the self and consciousness is related to neural events. Sections in the book cover existing models used to describe the mind/brain problem, recent research on brain mechanisms and processes and what they tell us about the self, consciousness and psychiatric disorders. The book presents a spatiotemporal approach to understanding the brain and the implications for artificial intelligence, novel therapies for psychiatric disorders, and for ethical, societal and philosophical issues. Pulling concepts from neuroscience, psychology and philosophy, the book presents a modern and complete look at what we know, what we can surmise, and what we may never know about the distinction between brain and mind.
Dr. Northoff is a neuroscientist and psychiatrist at the University of Ottawa. He has global outreach with world-wide collaborations and affiliations. The main focus of his research is on unravelling the connection of brain and mind, that is, how neuronal activity transforms into mental activity. He is world-wide known for his work on the neuroscience of self and consciousness, psychiatric disorders, and neurophilosophy. Additionally, he published several major books on major neuroscientific, psychiatric and neurophilosophical issues which have been translated into several languages.
