Description

Phase Transitions in Grey Matter: Brain Architecture and Mind Dynamics relates the complex systems that we know as 'mind' and 'brain' to simple concepts in physics such as 'phase transition' and 'criticality' and establishes a close mathematical link between them. A serious review of live issues in science--from interaction and correlation to emergence, scale invariance, attractors, noise and chaos--this book demonstrates their relevance to intelligence and consciousness.
