Does it matter that brains are not assembled but develop, that neurons are not electrical components but living cells? 

Starting from a discussion of our biological nature, this book critically reviews the major theoretical concepts about the brain – computation, information, prediction, etc. – and concludes that they are poorly suited to the study of biological cognition. Instead, this book proposes to bring life back into brain theory, and to see the brain as a self-organized, developing community of living entities, rather than as an optimized assembly of machine components. For each session, we will invite experts from different disciplines that are interested in the topics discussed in the corresponding chapter. Romain Brette will assist to the first session for a Q&A.
