This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.

Brain Computations and Connectivity is about how the brain works. In order to understand this, it is essential to know what is computed by different brain systems; and how the computations are performed.

The aim of this book is to elucidate what is computed in different brain systems; and to describe current biologically plausible computational approaches and models of how each of these brain systems computes.

Understanding the brain in this way has enormous potential for understanding ourselves better in health and in disease. Potential applications of this understanding are to the treatment of the brain in disease; and to artificial intelligence which will benefit from knowledge of how the brain performs many of its extraordinarily impressive functions.

This book is pioneering in taking this approach to brain function: to consider what is computed by many of our brain systems; and how it is computed, and updates by much new evidence including the connectivity of the human brain the earlier book: Rolls (2021) Brain Computations: What and How, Oxford University Press.

Brain Computations and Connectivity will be of interest to all scientists interested in brain function and how the brain works, whether they are from neuroscience, or from medical sciences including neurology and psychiatry, or from the area of computational science including machine learning and artificial intelligence, or from areas such as theoretical physics.

  • Elucidates what is computed in different brain systems and describes current biologically plausible computational approaches and models of how each of these brain systems computes.
  • Promotes a better understanding of ourselves in health and in disease by understanding the brain in this way.
  • Offers potential applications of this understanding to the treatment of the brain in disease and to artificial intelligence which can benefit from the knowledge of how the brain performs many of its extraordinarily impressive functions.
  • Takes a pioneering approach to brain function by considering what is computed by many of our brain systems and how it is computed.
  • This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence.

New to this Edition:

  • A major update to the author’s previous book Brain Computations: What and How (Oxford University Press, 2021) including much new evidence of the connectivity and functions of the human brain.
