Description
I of the Vortex: From Neurons to Self by Rodolfo R. Llinas
A groundbreaking theory of how the mind-brain works, this book presents an original view of the evolution and nature of mind.
According to the author, the "mindness state" emerged to allow for predictive interactions between mobile creatures and their environment, with the sea squirt serving as a prime example of early brain development. The theory centers on the concept of oscillation, where electrical activity in neurons enables communication and cognition.
