Despite their long-intertwined histories, the fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence research are notoriously divided. In \u003ci\u003eCognitive Code \u003c\/i\u003eJohannes Bruder argues that seemingly incompatible scales of intelligence - the brain and the planet - are now intimately linked through neuroscience-inspired AI and computational cognitive neuroscience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBuilding on ethnographic fieldwork in brain imaging labs in the United Kingdom and Switzerland, alongside analyses of historical and contemporary literature, \u003ci\u003eCognitive Code \u003c\/i\u003eexamines how contemporary research on the brain makes routine use of engineering epistemologies and practices. Bruder elaborates on how the question of mimicking human cognition and thought on the scale of computer chips and circuits has gradually evolved into a comprehensive restructuring of the world through \"smart\" infrastructures. The brain, traditionally treated as a discrete object that thinks, is becoming part of the larger thinking network we now know as \"the Cloud.\" The author traces a recent shift in the goals of brain imaging to show that the introduction of novel statistical and computational techniques has upset traditional paradigms and disentangled cognition from its biological substrate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInvestigating understandings of intelligence from the micro to the macro, \u003ci\u003eCognitive Code \u003c\/i\u003eexplains how the future of human psychology is increasingly determined by engineering and design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johannes Bruder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0773559175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780773559172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2020","brand":"Johannes Bruder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483664724223,"sku":"9780773559172","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f4eb3430-2ecf-4682-bee3-d0342307352f.jpg?v=1778039865","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cognitive-code-johannes-bruder-9780773559172","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
