The sub-title for this book is: What the Brain Can Tell Us about the Mind. Naomi Goldblum asks many of the questions that cyberneticians have been asking for many decades. They include: Will brain scientists ever be able to read our minds? Why are some things harder to remember than others?
The publishers Cambridge University Press claim.the book answers these questions using Neural Networks and other questions are also posed and discussed, we are told, in a clear and informative manner. This is done by a careful examination of how the structure of the brain shapes the workings of the mind
