Edited by Gary Marcus and Jeremy Freeman

An unprecedented look at the quest to unravel the mysteries of the human brain, “The Future of the Brain” takes readers to the absolute frontiers of science.

Original essays by leading researchers such as Christof Koch, George Church, Olaf Sporns, and May-Britt and Edvard Moser describe the spectacular technological advances that will enable us to map the more than 85 billion neurons in the brain, as well as the challenges that lie ahead in understanding the anticipated deluge of data and the prospects for building working simulations of the human brain.
