Biological Cognition by Bryce Huebner, published by Cambridge University Press on December 22, 2022, is a concise exploration of cognition through a biological lens. This 75-page work discusses the importance of allostatic regulation in understanding cognitive processes, emphasizing how individuals navigate various challenges and opportunities. Huebner presents cognition as a dynamic balancing act, where minimizing disruptions while prioritizing essential information is crucial for meeting both social and biological needs.
In this edition, readers will find an in-depth analysis of the architectural constraints, neurotransmitters, and affective states that influence visual perception. The book also examines the regulatory capacities that enable flexible thought and behavior patterns. By integrating concepts from philosophy, neuroscience, and life sciences, Biological Cognition offers a comprehensive perspective on the interplay between mind and body, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the scientific underpinnings of cognitive processes.
Official synopsis Publisher
This Element introduces a biological approach to cognition, which highlights the significance of allostatic regulation and the navigation of challenges and opportunities. It argues that cognition is best understood as a juggling act, which reflects numerous ongoing attempts to minimize disruptions while prioritizing the sources of information that are necessary to satisfy social and biological needs; and it provides a characterization of the architectural constraints, neurotransmitters, and affective states that shape visual perception, as well as the regulatory capacities that sustain flexible patterns of thought and behavior.
