Understanding the Coarse Functions of the Brain
02:04 - 09:32 (07:27)
This podcast discusses how neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychology can be viewed as one single science that explores how the brain generates behavior and understanding of raw visual information. The speakers also highlight how our knowledge of the brain's functions has advanced significantly, but there is much more to learn at the neuronal level.
