- Summary
- Baev writes with an interdisciplinary readership in mind. Neuroscientists, computer specialists and mathematicians, physicists, and clinicians devoted to deciphering the way the brain works will all find this book fascinating and stimulating reading.
- Biological Neural Networks presents a novel conceptual framework for neurobiology achieved by the application of control theory. This new paradigm provides unifying principles for understanding the functional construction of the nervous system. Konstantin Baev argues forcefully that all hierarchical levels of the nervous system are built according to the same functional principles, which are shown to underlie the highest forms of brain function.
- Each network hierarchy is structurally and functionally organized in such a way that a lower control system in the nervous system becomes the controlled object for a higher one, and each level of control possesses a behavioral model of its controlled object.
