In order to understand this, it is essential to know \u003cem\u003ewhat\u003c\/em\u003e is computed by different brain systems; and \u003cem\u003ehow\u003c\/em\u003e the computations are performed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe aim of this book is to elucidate what is computed in different brain systems; and to describe current biologically plausible computational approaches and models of how each of these brain systems computes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnderstanding the brain in this way has enormous potential for understanding ourselves better in health and in disease. Potential applications of this understanding are to the treatment of the brain in disease; and to artificial intelligence which will benefit from knowledge of how the brain performs many of its extraordinarily impressive functions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is pioneering in taking this approach to brain function: to consider \u003cem\u003ewhat\u003c\/em\u003e is computed by many of our brain systems; and \u003cem\u003ehow\u003c\/em\u003e it is computed, and updates by much new evidence including the connectivity of the human brain the earlier book: Rolls (2021) \u003cem\u003eBrain Computations: What and How\u003c\/em\u003e, Oxford University Press. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrain Computations and Connectivity\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to all scientists interested in brain function and how the brain works, whether they are from neuroscience, or from medical sciences including neurology and psychiatry, or from the area of computational science including machine learning and artificial intelligence, or from areas such as theoretical physics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edmund T.
