A Neurocomputational Perspective: The Nature of Mind and the structure of Science

the one that I need for my research.

NC Perspective explores AI like never before

If you're interested in a concise and empirically grounded look at how organisms experience themselves and the world, this is a definite. There is also a nice look into the future with Paul speculating what may come from the study of neuroengineering with humans. This book is especially appealing in light of the fact that our population is being exposed to the novel findings in medicine, neuroscience, and all other fields that play a part in the NC perspective. If you're interested in this book, you may also want to check out the movie, "AI."
