In this book, Peter Sterling and Simon Laughlin, two leading neuroscientists, strive to fill this gap, outlining a set of organizing principles to explain the whys of neural design that allow the brain to compute so efficiently.
And yet a principled framework to organize this knowledge has been missing. A mountain of new facts and mechanisms has emerged. Neuroscience research has exploded, with more than fifty thousand neuroscientists applying increasingly advanced methods. Two distinguished neuroscientists distil general principles from more than a century of scientific study, “reverse engineering” the brain to understand its design.
