Neuroscience Without Representations 1st Edition

Neuroscience Without Representations — 1st Edition by Óscar Vilarroya offers a provocative rethinking of how the brain does its work, challenging long-held assumptions in cognitive neuroscience and philosophy of mind. Clear, rigorous, and compelling, this volume invites scientists, students, and curious readers to reconsider the role of internal representations in neural explanation.

Opening with an arresting critique of representational frameworks, Vilarroya guides readers through alternative models grounded in dynamical systems, embodied cognition, and network neuroscience. He combines philosophical clarity with empirical sensitivity, explaining complex concepts in accessible language while engaging with contemporary experimental findings. The result is a fresh, multidisciplinary approach that speaks to neuroscientists, philosophers, psychologists, and clinicians alike.

Why this edition matters: it reframes research questions, suggests new experimental designs, and highlights practical implications for understanding perception, action, and clinical conditions. Whether you’re updating course reading lists, shaping lab hypotheses, or simply exploring cutting-edge theory, this book equips you with a robust intellectual toolkit.

Ideal for readers across the US, Europe, Spain, and Latin America, Neuroscience Without Representations is both a timely contribution to debates in brain science and a readable guide for anyone seeking a deeper grasp of how brains make sense of the world. Add this influential first edition by Óscar Vilarroya to your collection and join the conversation reshaping modern neuroscience.
