A View of Brain Theory

“Top-down” brain theory (based upon functional analysis of cognitive processes) is distinguished from “bottom-up” brain theory (as might be based on analysis of the dynamics of neural nets). “Cooperative computation” is proposed as a way of providing a style of analysis for studying the interactions of neural subsystems at various levels.
