Neurodynamics of Cognition and Consciousness (Perlovsky, L.I. and Kozma, R., Eds.; 2007) [Book review]

This volume grew up from a series of lectures presented at the World Congress of Computational Intelligence in Vancouver, BC, Canada, in summer 2006. The book is divided into two parts. Part I is about ""Neurodynamics of Cognition and Consciousness," and contains reviews from major players of the field. The papers are carefully selected, and what makes the book particularly exciting is that the authors have partially overlapping, but still very original views. Part II, "Cognitive Computing for Sensory Perception," is somewhat more eclectic than Part I, but still gives excellent examples for the application of the general neurodynamic principles. The book, as a well-edited whole, offers a coherent perspective and many remarkable details. It is recommended to anyone who would like to learn more about the field of neurodynamics.
