Our knowledge of the brain is grows dramatically, but primarily in highly specialized ways, resulting in more confusion than coherent understanding. Particularly the gap between neural micro structures and the complete system is difficult to close. This book tries to counter this dilemma by introducing a macro model of the brain.

Optimized interaction of the brain with environment requires the four-dimensional representation of space-time in the neuronal circuits. Information processing is an important part of this interaction, which is critically dependent on time-dimension. Information processing has played an important role in the evolution of mammals, and has reached a level of critical importance in the lives of primates, particularly the humans. The entanglement of time-dimension with information processing in the brain is not clearly understood at present. Time-dimension in physical world – the environment of an organism – can be represented by the interval of a pendulum swing (the cover page depicts temporal unit with the help of a swinging pendulum). Temporal units in neural processes are represented by regular activities of pacemaker neurons, tonic regular activities of proprioceptors and periodic fluctuations in the excitability of neurons underlying brain oscillations. Moreover, temporal units may be representationally associated with time-bins containing bits of information (see the Editorial), which may be studied to understand the entanglement of time-dimension with neural information processing. The optimized interaction of the brain with environment requires the calibration of neural temporal units. Neural temporal units are calibrated as a result of feedback processes occurring during the interaction of an organism with environment. Understanding the role of time-dimension in the brain information processing requires a multidisciplinary approach, which would include psychophysics, single cell studies and brain recordings. Although this Special Issue has helped us move forward on some fronts, including theoretical understanding of calibration of time-information in neural circuits, and the role of brain oscillations in timing functions and integration of asynchronous sensory information, further advancements are needed by developing correct computational tools to resolve the relationship between dynamic, hierarchical neural oscillatory structures that form during the brain’s interaction with environment.

Wenn man die Fehlleistungen des Menschen der Gegenwart betrachtet und sieht, in welchen Zustand er die Welt versetzt hat oder zu versetzen im Begriff ist, kann man nur den Kopf schütteln. Wie kann es sein, dass wir die Natur, in deren Schoß wir leben, wie Unkraut überwuchern und mit schädlichen Technologien so stressen, dass wichtige Ökosysteme zusammenbrechen? Wie kann es sein, dass wir uns vom Kapitalismus so beherrschen lassen, als stünden wir in Las Vegas vor einem Spielautomaten, von dem wir nicht mehr loskommen? Wie kann es sein, dass wir Kultur aufbauen und unseren Mitmenschen doch auch immer wieder mit Hass, Hetze und Gewalt gegenübertreten? "Etwas ist faul im Staate Dänemark" (Shakespeare: "Hamlet"). Will man dem nachgehen, kommt man am Gehirn des Menschen, das sein Steuerorgan, Erkenntnisinstrument und seine Kognitionsmaschine ist, nicht vorbei. Es ist jedoch extrem schwierig, die Arbeitsweise des Gehirns zu begreifen. Noch schwieriger ist es, daraus Erkenntnisse für die psychische Verfassung und das Verhalten des Menschen zu gewinnen. Dann noch die Brücke zur Gesellschaft schlagen zu wollen - mit der gesamten Bandbreite an phantastischen, gewöhnlichen und desaströsen Phänomenen, die in Geschichte und Gegenwart zu verzeichnen sind - ist schier unmöglich. Aber das Unmögliche wird in diesem Buch versucht. Es wird nach systemischen Zusammenhängen zwischen Nervensystem, Mensch, Gesellschaft und dem "menschheitlichen Superorganismus" gefahndet. Hierbei streng wissenschaftlich und evidenzbasiert vorzugehen, muss das letztendliche Ziel sein. Doch vorläufig fehlen dazu die nötigen Daten und Ressourcen. Also wird nur das bruchstückhaft vorhandene Material zusammengetragen und das Puzzle so gut wie möglich zusammengesetzt, was ohne Synthese und Thesenbildung nicht leistbar ist. Die Methoden, mit denen vorgegangen wird, könnte man "analytische Modellbildung" und "interdisziplinäre Mustererkennung" nennen. Bei der Komplexität des Themas muss klar sein, dass ein Erkenntniswunder nicht zu erwarten ist. Dieses Buch versteht sich als ein (weiterer) Anfang.

Neuroscientists found that chronic stress and cortisol can trigger long-term changes in brain structure and connectivity in individuals and emphasize the importance of reducing stressful factors in one’s daily life. Early exposure to stressful events can make a person more vulnerable to anxiety and other mood disorders later in their lifetime. Those who take active steps to reduce their stress through various means such as physical activity or therapy can reduce the negative long-term effects on the brain. Chronic Stress and Its Effect on Brain Structure and Connectivity is an essential reference source that presents current information on chronic stress management, the impact of mass media coverage on the human mind, and the effects of post-traumatic stress. Featuring research on topics such as the neurophysiological basis of moods, trauma, quantum cognition, mental health, therapy, and neurobiology, this book is ideally designed for mental health professionals, neuroscientists, neurologists, psychiatrists, researchers, and therapists.

For the past forty years, linguistics has been dominated by the idea that language is categorical and linguistic competence discrete. It has become increasingly clear, however, that many levels of representation, from phonemes to sentence structure, show probabilistic properties, as does the language faculty. Probabilistic linguistics conceptualizes categories as distributions and views knowledge of language not as a minimal set of categorical constraints but as a set of gradient rules that may be characterized by a statistical distribution. Whereas categorical approaches focus on the endpoints of distributions of linguistic phenomena, probabilistic approaches focus on the gradient middle ground. Probabilistic linguistics integrates all the progress made by linguistics thus far with a probabilistic perspective. This book presents a comprehensive introduction to probabilistic approaches to linguistic inquiry. It covers the application of probabilistic techniques to phonology, morphology, semantics, syntax, language acquisition, psycholinguistics, historical linguistics, and sociolinguistics. It also includes a tutorial on elementary probability theory and probabilistic grammars.

Present day neuroscience places the brain at the centre of study. But what if researchers viewed the brain not as the foundation of life, rather as a mediating organ? Ecology of the Brain addresses this very question. It considers the human body as a collective, a living being which uses the brain to mediate interactions. Those interactions may be both within the human body and between the human body and its environment. Within this framework, the mind is seen not as a product of the brain but as an activity of the living being; an activity which integrates the brain within the everyday functions of the human body. Going further, Fuchs reformulates the traditional mind-brain problem, presenting it as a dual aspect of the living being: the lived body and the subjective body - the living body and the objective body. The processes of living and experiencing life, Fuchs argues, are in fact inextricably linked; it is not the brain, but the human being who feels, thinks and acts. For students and academics, Ecology of the Brain will be of interest to those studying or researching theory of mind, social and cultural interaction, psychiatry, and psychotherapy.

Continual improvements in data collection and processing have had a huge impact on brain research, producing data sets that are often large and complicated. By emphasizing a few fundamental principles, and a handful of ubiquitous techniques, Analysis of Neural Data provides a unified treatment of analytical methods that have become essential for contemporary researchers. Throughout the book ideas are illustrated with more than 100 examples drawn from the literature, ranging from electrophysiology, to neuroimaging, to behavior. By demonstrating the commonality among various statistical approaches the authors provide the crucial tools for gaining knowledge from diverse types of data. Aimed at experimentalists with only high-school level mathematics, as well as computationally-oriented neuroscientists who have limited familiarity with statistics, Analysis of Neural Data serves as both a self-contained introduction and a reference work.
