Description

Cognitive Code: A New Perspective on Intelligence and the Brain. The fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence research have long been divided, but Johannes Bruder argues that they are now increasingly intertwined. In Cognitive Code, he explores how contemporary research on the brain is using engineering epistemologies and practices to develop new forms of intelligence. This shift has led to a comprehensive restructuring of our world through "smart" infrastructures. Bruder examines how recent advances in brain imaging have changed our understanding of cognition, moving away from traditional views of the brain as a discrete object. Instead, he shows how the brain is becoming part of a larger network, often referred to as "the Cloud." This new perspective has significant implications for our understanding of intelligence and its future development. By investigating understandings of intelligence at both the micro and macro levels, Cognitive Code sheds light on how engineering and design are increasingly shaping human psychology.
