Cognitive Biology
Dealing with Information from Bacteria to Minds
Providing a new conceptual scaffold for further research in biology and cognition, this book introduces the new field of Cognitive Biology: a systems biology approach showing that further progress in this field will depend on a deep recognition of developmental processes, as well as on the consideration of the developed organism as an agent able to modify and control its surrounding environment. Any organism is a complex system that can survive only if it is able to maintain its internal order against the spontaneous tendency for disruption. Therefore, it is forced to monitor and control its environment and so to establish feedback circuits r…

After taking his degree in philosophy at La Sapienza University in Rome he took his Ph.D and his Postdoc in Philosophy at the same university. Hisphilosophical interests are logic, philosophy of nature (with special connections with quantum mechanics and biology), philosophy of mind, and metaphysics. In science, his main interests are in quantum mechanics (quantum information, foundations, interpretation). For the last ten years his researchinterests have addressed issues in the treatment of information by biological systems (from bacteria to human brain), in cognitive neurosciences.
