The purpose of the book is to advance in the understanding of brain function by defining a general framework for representation based on category theory. The idea is to bring this mathematical formalism into the domain of neural representation of physical spaces, setting the basis for a theory of mental representation, able to relate empirical findings, uniting them into a sound theoretical corpus. The innovative approach presented in the book provides a horizon of interdisciplinary collaboration that aims to set up a common agenda that synthesizes mathematical formalization and empirical procedures in a systemic way.

Reviews for A New Foundation for Representation in Cognitive and Brain Science: Category Theory and the Hippocampus
From the book reviews: This is a comprehensive textbook of brain theory as it relates to what I will call Neuro-logic. The author does a credible job of describing the role of mathematics, topology, set theory, topology, and other neural representations in alphanumeric digital language. ... I recommend this book very highly to the neuroscience community, ... Read more
