Brain from Inside Out, Buzsaki Gyorgy

Gy�rgy Buzs�kis The Brain from Inside Out examines why the outside-in framework for understanding brain function has become stagnant and points to new directions for understanding neural function. Building upon the success of 2011s Rhythms of the Brain, Professor Buzs�ki presents the brain as a foretelling device that interacts with its environment through action and the examination of actions consequence. Consider that our brains are initially filled with nonsense patterns, all of which are gibberish until grounded by action-based interactions. By matching these nonsense words to the outcomes of action, they acquire meaning. Once its circuits are calibrated by action and experience, the brain can disengage from its sensors and actuators, and examine what happens if scenarios by peeking into its own computation, a process that we refer to as cognition.
The Brain from Inside Out explains why our brain is not an information-absorbing coding device, as it is often portrayed, but a venture-seeking explorer constantly controlling the body to test hypotheses. Our brain does not process information: it creates it.
