Abstract
About this title: Bill explains that the central focus of 21st century cognitive neuroscience is the relationships between perception, learning, memory, language, and selective attention--in other words, the relationship between neuroscience and psychology. The interconnectedness typical of brain networks, is augmented by the brain's neuroplasticity which enables parts of the brain to change structure in response to experiences, negative or positive. Because of neuroplasticity, learning can continue until death.The section on Memory considers how memories are formed, stored, and activated. "Brain and mind" considers the neural pathways of creativity, interconnected neural nets. Certain false assumptions about creavity are reviewed. These include that creativity is confined to the right hemisphere of the brain; that the left hemisphere is involved in thinking and reasoning, and that only 10% of the brain is being used at any one time. The concept of the default mode network suggests that even at rest, the brain generates spontaneous thoughts and creativity; that nothing less than our sense of self is related to the default mode network. Mirror neurons, in contrast, govern our social sense of self, a social cognition that helps us understand the thoughts and feeling of others and learn through imitation. Mirror neurons help us to program ourselves, a characteristic that robotics engineers hope to eventually incorporate into the cognitive patterns of robots.
