人脑由850亿个神经元组成，它们由超过100万亿个突触连接。一个多世纪以来，各种各样的研究人员一直在寻找一种语言，该语言可以用来捕捉这些神经元的工作原理以及它们如何交流的本质，以及这些交流如何产生思想，观念和行为。他们正在寻找的语言是数学，如果没有它，我们将无法像今天一样理解大脑。在《心灵模型》中，作者和计算神经科学家Grace Lindsay解释了数学模型如何使科学家理解和描述大脑的许多过程，包括决策，感觉处理，量化记忆等。她向读者介绍了现代神经科学中最重要的概念，并强调了当数学建模的抽象世界与生物学的凌乱细节碰撞时出现的紧张关系。思维模型的每一章都侧重于已在神经科学的特定领域中应用的数学工具，从最简单的大脑构造物-单个神经元-到相互作用的神经元回路，整个大脑区域甚至行为的过程，不断发展。那大脑命令。此外，格蕾丝（Grace）还研究了该领域的历史，...(展开全部)
