This book presents a new understanding of brain functioning. Based on general results of synergetics, it conceives the brain as a complex self-organizing system with emergent properties. This approach is elaborated by numerous explicit models that are based on and substained by detailed experiments on movement control, by various results on vision and by EEG and MEG analysis. The book provides newcomers to brain research with an introductory chapter on the experimental exploration of the brain and newcomers to synergetics with detailed and easy to read chapters on the basic concepts and theoretical tools of this field.…mehr
