Index
György Buzsáki 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. Buzsáki, Rhythms of the Brain, Oxford University Press,
2006
"Overall, the book is profound and full of wisdom for both science
and culture in general. It challenges the established views about
how the brain and the world work together, and it inspires new
ideas regarding the psyche and consciousness." -- Gunnel Minett,
Paradigm Explorer
"In The Brain from Inside Out, Gyorgi Buzsaki shows us how dynamic
patterns of activity in neurons actively generate good guesses
rather than passively represent the outside world. BuzsÃ!ki is a
master at vividly explaining what we know about brains and
illuminating what we don't yet know." -- Terrence J. Sejnowski,
PhD, Francis Crick Chair, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La
Jolla, CA
"Inside Out offers crossover appeal, but it is unabashedly broad
and ambitious, aspiring to articulate a philosophy of how to think
about the brain that shapes the future of neuroscience research.
... It will fuel the imaginations of young neuroscientists, as they
invent new ways to understand the strange and wonderful meat inside
our heads." -- Rachel Denison, The Cooper Square Review of Science,
Medicine and Technology
"This outstanding book will challenge you to think deeply about how
we should view the route to discovery in brain research. The
primary argument of the book is that the brain is a self-organized
system with a preexisting organization designed to generate actions
and to evaluate and predict the consequences of those actions. This
is contrasted with the dominant view in modern neuroscience that
the brain exists to represent the world, process information
and
decide how to respond. The consequences of this distinction are
presented from an historical and a scientific perspective done with
remarkable scholarship and scientific rigor. As a welcome addition
to
the rapidly expanding dialogue on brain science and society, I hope
it finds its way onto the desks of young people commencing careers
in the neurosciences." --Marcus E. Raichle, MD, Alan A. & Edith L.
Wolff Distinguished Professor in Medicine, Mallinckrodt Institute
of Radiology, Washington University of Medicine, St Louis, MO
"The Brain from Inside Out is a fascinating guided tour by a
leading brain scientist of the race to address the biggest
challenge of our times: understanding the inner workings of the
brain. Buzsaki's ideas are at the same time personal and universal,
offering an intimate look at the major hypotheses and roadblocks
that drive brain science today. A wonderful read." --Albert-Laszlo
Barabasi, PhD, Professor of Network Science, Northeastern
University, Boston, MA
