Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Principles of Neural Science, 6e AB - THE HUMAN BRAIN carries out actions in ways no current computer can begin to approach. Merely to see—to look onto the world and recognize a face or facial expression—entails amazing computational achievements. Indeed, all our perceptual abilities—seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching—are analytical triumphs. Similarly, all of our voluntary actions are triumphs of engineering. Sensation and movement, while wondrous in their own right, pale in comparison to complex cognitive behaviors such as forming memories or understanding social conventions.
