Building upon the success of \u003cem\u003eRhythms of the Brain\u003c\/em\u003e, Professor Buzsáki presents the brain as a foretelling device that interacts with its environment through action and the examination of action's consequence. Instead of a brain that represents the world, consider that it is initially filled with nonsense patterns, all of which are gibberish until grounded by action-based interactions. By matching these nonsense \"words\" to the outcomes of action, they acquire meaning. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Brain from Inside Out\u003c\/em\u003e explains why our brain is not an information-absorbing coding device, as it is often portrayed, but a venture seeking explorer constantly controlling the body to test hypotheses. Our brain does not process information: it creates it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGyörgy Buzsáki is Biggs Professor of Neuroscience at New York University.\u003cbr\u003eMember of the National Academy of Sciences USA, Co-recipient of the 2011 Brain Prize.\u003cbr\u003eHis main interest is \"neural syntax\", how segmentation of neural information is organized to support cognitive functions.\u003cbr\u003eBook: G.
