Much of contemporary behavioral or cognitive neuroscience is
concerned with discovering the neural basis of psychological
processes such as attention, cognition, consciousness, perception,
and memory. In sharp divergence from this field, An Odyssey Through
the Brain, Behavior and the Mind can be regarded as an elaborate
demonstration that the large scale features of brain electrical
activity are related to sensory and motor processes in various ways
but are not organised in accordance with conventional psychological
concepts. It is argued that much of the traditional lore concerning
the mind is based on prescientific philosophical assumptions and
has little relevance to brain function.
The first ten chapters of An Odyssey Through the Brain, Behavior
and the Mind give a personal account of how the various discoveries
that gave rise to these views came to be made. This is followed by
discussions of brain organization in relation to behavior, learning
and memory, sleep and consciousness, and the general problem of the
mind.
