Abstract

This paper is based on the final chapter of The Cognitive Brain. It presents a precis of the book, and some thoughts about the implications of the proposed neuronal mechanisms and systems for our understanding of the human brain and mind.

Comments/Discussion

This book explains how the human brain is able to create an internal representation of our 3D world from an egocentric perspective and include a representation of ourself within our egocentric phenomenal space.
