Conscious Mind, Resonant Brain: How Each Brain Makes a Mind

by Stephen Grossberg

Description

This groundbreaking exploration of consciousness explains how the brain transforms sensory signals into stable perceptions, memories, emotions, decisions, and a unified sense of self. Drawing on decades of research in computational neuroscience, it presents the Adaptive Resonance framework and related models to show how attention, learning, expectation, and emotion work together to create each person’s distinctive mind. Accessible yet rigorous, the book connects neural mechanisms with everyday experience while examining perception, creativity, language, and disorders of the brain. It offers a compelling scientific account of how conscious experience emerges from dynamic interactions within the resonant brain.
