The Brain from Inside Out

57.9
55.01
Is there a right way to study how the brain works? Following the empiricist's tradition, the most common approach involves the study of neural reactions to stimuli presented by an experimenter. This 'outside-in' method fueled a generation of brain research and now must confront hidden assumptions about causation and concepts that may not hold neatly for systems that act and react.

György Buzsáki's The Brain from Inside Out examines why the outside-in framework for understanding brain function have become stagnant and points to new directions for understanding neural function. Building upon the success of Rhythms of the Brain, Professor Buzsáki presents the brain as a foretelling device that interacts with its environment through action and the examination of action's 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 " by action and experience, the brain can disengage from its sensors and actuators, and examine.

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.

Alerts the neuroscience community and beyond why our existing research frameworks are currently stagnant and points to possible new directions for progress
Offers the 'inside out' approach as an alternative strategy to the currently dominating 'outside in' method
Discusses how one can start building brains from simple to the more complex using an an action driven, observer/classifier-based approach
