Description
Gy�rgy Buzs�ki's The Brain from Inside Out examines why the outside-in framework for understanding brain function have become stagnate and points to new directions for understanding neural function. Building upon the success of 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 action's consequence. Instead of a brain that represents the world, consider that it is 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.

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.
"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
