Neurobiological Background of Exploration Geosciences
New Methods for Data Analysis Based on Cognitive Criteria
Description
Key Features
- Presents the neurological background of human brain function and cognition as it relates to the geosciences
- Explores possible links between geophysics, neural anatomy and neural physiology
- Dissects topics with a multidisciplinary approach and balanced combination of theory and applications
- Examines the potential mechanism by which exploration geoscience is triggered by specific neural systems located in primordial areas of the subcortical brain
- Proposes working hypotheses and possible scenarios for future research in neuroscience and the geosciences
Readership
Neuroscientists, Earth scientists, and cognitive scientists, neurobiologists, geoscientists, post-doctoral fellows, researchers, graduate students and researchers in biological and biomedical sciences, geology, geophysics, neurobiology, and the cognitive sciences
