The study of mind and brain dynamics touches upon many fields such as Psychiatry, Neurology, Linguistics, Psychology, and Biology. Cognitive Science explores these numerous facets, as well as introduces the basics of artificial neural networks, connectionism, classical symbol theory, nonlinear dynamic systems and the principles of self-organization. This book also describes how elementary neuronal information is combined in perception and language, thus uncovering the mystery of brain processes and cognitive performances in humans.
