| Summary |
"The cognitive and neural sciences have been on the brink of a paradigm shift for over a decade. The traditional information processing framework in psychology, with its computer metaphor of the mind, is still considered the mainstream approach. However, the dynamical systems perspective on mental activity is now receiving a more rigorous treatment, allowing it to move beyond the trendy buzzwords that have become associated with it. The Continuity of Mind will help to galvanize the forces of dynamical systems theory, cognitive and computational neuroscience, connectionism, and ecological psychology that are needed to complete this paradigm shift."--BOOK JACKET |
