neural darwinism

He defends a theory known by some as Neural Darwinism.

In general, however, many scholars seem intrigued by "Neural Darwinism."

He is the author of more than 330 scientific articles, and "Neural Darwinism," published last year.

Both books put forward the theory of neuronal group selection, also known as Neural Darwinism.

Perhaps most provocatively, Neural Darwinism comes down strongly in support of the importance of individuality.

(In which the authors develop a formal model of synapse selection, precursor of the "neural darwinism".

Dr. Edelman calls his theory "neural Darwinism."

This model is effectively the precursor of the "neural Darwinism" theory further promoted by Gerald Edelman.

Neural Darwinism: Theory of Neuronal Group Selection.

Still, for all Mr. Edelman's assertions, I was struck again and again by how much neural Darwinism sounds like computing.

It was extended and published in the 1989 book Neural Darwinism - The Theory of Neuronal Group Selection.

He is noted for his theory of neuronal group selection, also known as Neural Darwinism, which displays the belief that consciousness is the product of natural selection.

NEURAL DARWINISM is the outcome of this work.

Edelman's theory of neuronal group selection, also known as Neural Darwinism, has three basic tenets-Developmental Selection, Experiential Selection and Reentry.

Having stated the problem, he presents a potted version of his own theory of the brain, known as neural Darwinism or (in an extended version) the theory of neuronal group selection.

He has proposed a broad and ambitious theory about the brain -discussed in exhaustive detail in his new book "Neural Darwinism: The Theory of Neuronal Group Selection."

Neural Darwinism, a large scale theory of brain function by Gerald Edelman, was initially published in 1978, in a book called The Mindful Brain (MIT Press).

In fact this decision making is a large part of the territory embraced by DIT proponents but is poorly understood due to limitations in neurobiology (for more information see Neural Darwinism).

The first of Edelman's technical books, Neural Darwinism (1987) explores his theory of memory that is built around the idea of plasticity in the neural network in response to the environment.

Edelman integrates the DCH hypothesis into Neural Darwinism, in which metastable interactions in the thalamocortical region cause a process of selectionism through re-entry, a host of internal feedback loops.

NEURAL DARWINISM is so new a concept that a coherent line of criticism has yet to be established, but the appearance of Edelman's book provided a forum for discussing his ideas.

Opening one of Mr. Edelman's earlier books, "Neural Darwinism: The Theory of Neuronal Group Selection," a reader comes face to face with a sheer granite cliff with barely a handhold in sight.

He notes in particular an affinity between Freud's 1895 "Project for a Scientific Psychology" and the important work of Gerald Edelman, who dedicates his latest book on neural Darwinism to the memory of Freud and Darwin.

He endorses in general the description of brain activity called "Neural Darwinism" by its propounder, Gerald Edelman of Rockefeller University in New York, who received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1972.

The manner in which experience can influence the synaptic organization of the brain is also the basis for a number of theories of brain function including the general theory of mind and epistemology referred to as Neural Darwinism and developed by immunologist Nobel laureate Gerald Edelman.
