Neurophilosophy : An overview of corticogenesis
by ogrisel
(via)
The winners of the first Kavli Prize were announced a couple of weeks ago. One of the three recipients of the prize for neuroscience was Pasko Rakic, a professor of neurobiology and neurology at the Yale School of Medicine.
Rakic has spent most of his career investigating the development of the cerebral cortex of man and other mammals, and it is for his outstanding contribution to this area of research that he has been awarded the Kavli Prize for Neuroscience.
What Dictionaries and Optical Illusions Say About Our Brains: Scientific American
by ogrisel
Although many neuroscientists are trying to figure out how the brain works, Mark Changizi is bent on determining why it works that way. In the past, the assistant professor of cognitive science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has demonstrated that the shapes of letters in 100 writing systems reflect common ones seen in nature...

Memory-prediction framework
by YukuanMark
The memory-prediction framework is a theory of brain function that was created by Jeff Hawkins and described in his book On Intelligence. This theory concerns the role of the hippocampus, neocortex, and the thalamus in matching sensory inputs to stored me
Theoretical Neuroscience - RedwoodCenter

It is often said that "neuroscience is data-rich yet theory-poor." Our aim is to supply useful algorithms and theoretical ideas to neuroscience in order * to provide new forms of analysis for neural data (spike trains, EEG, MRI), * to provide theories and
創智慧（On Intelligence）

個人認為本書的重點有二：
一是假設大腦的運作原理充分地運用了達爾文過程；
另一個很有創見的地方是本書第七章的〈皮質迷宮〉：作者提出一個可能的方式，來描述大腦皮質層如何產生達爾文過程，並解釋了意識及潛意識的形成。
