Cognitive Phase Transitions in the Cerebral Cortex - Enhancing the Neuron Doctrine by Modeling Neura

The book "Cognitive Phase Transitions in the Cerebral Cortex - Enhancing the Neuron Doctrine by Modeling Neura" offers an in-depth analysis of the role of scale-free structures and dynamics in generating intelligent behavior in the brain. The authors, Walter J. Freeman and Robert Kozma, expand the traditional neuron doctrine by incorporating the dynamics of neural fields, which are described by differential equation models. This extended perspective is further deepened by the application of random graph theory. The book concludes with various comments that illustrate the diversity of mathematical and conceptual approaches to neural fields. It is aimed at researchers, postdocs, and doctoral students who recognize the limitations of network theory and are seeking new approaches in mesoscopic and macroscopic neurodynamics.
