Brain and Behaviour 2. Perception and Action. Seelected Readings

Research into the relation between brain and behaviour is one of the most rapidly advancing frontiers of the biological sciences. These four volumes not only contain recent research but also place it in its historical and philosophical context. Some papers appear in English translation for the first time, while others have long been, inaccessible to many students. Key problems reflected in the readings are discussed by Professor Pribram both in his commentary and in papers by -himself. . The second volume, Perception and action, deals with the neural events involved in perception and cognition (which Professor Pribram distinguishes), and those which regulate the motor functions of the nervous system which beget behaviour.
