Editorial Reviews

Synthesizing research from neuroscience, physics, biology, systems science, information science, psychology, and the cognitive sciences, this book advances a unified theory of brain, mind, behavior, and information. Furman and Gallo emphasize the need to view psychological science in the context of the physical world. They outline NeuroPrint, a ten-step algorithm that produces a visual model of neurocognitive dynamics, allowing precise measurement of the behavioral choices available to the individual and their probability of selection. Furman is a researcher with a private corporation. Gallo has a private practice as a psychologist, and is associated with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center at Horizon. Annotation c.
