Edelman

Gerald Edelman, is a very fascinating man, but can be very confusing at times if you are not a science major. Luckily I am. Parts of it were still difficult to follow. I appreciated his description of how he viewed the mind. He doesn't see it as a computer, but more of a jungle. He believes that it has structure, but also a lot of variability as the individuality of everyone's brain demonstrates so well. He gives a great description of the individuality that people possess, even if there is still similarities between the structure of one's brain with another.
