Another Day in the Monkey's Brain

Ebook (PDF Format)

ANOTHER DAY IN THE MONKEY'S BRAIN charts a neuroscientist's journey to understand the central mysteries of consciousness. Dr. Siegel began his career in the neurophysiology of vision in the 1980s, just when the field was coming into focus with the advent of new computing and imaging technologies. As a pioneer in the technique of mesoscopic imaging, he worked with some of the giants in vision science: Torsten Wiesel, Francis Crick, Tom Albright and many others. With insight and clarity, he shows how science is built on such relationships. Along the way, he gives a vivid sense of the abundant passion and creativity that drive scientists in thei… Mehr

Über den Autor

Dr. Ralph Mitchell Siegel, a professor of neuroscience at the Rutgers University, Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience, was a neurophysiologist interested in the basic mechanisms underlying visual motion and spatial perception, with the ultimate goal of developing applications to assist people who have visual processing disorders and neurological injuries. He performed pioneering work on parietal lobe neurons and the influence of eye position and attention on perception.
