Just to give you all an idea of what I've been doing here at the Salk, here's a list of books I've been given to read.
- Eye and Brain by Richard L. Gregory - A technical book on the "psychology of seeing".
- Mind: A Brief Introduction by John R. Searle - A book on the philosophy of mind.
- Who Is Fourier? by the Transnational College of LEX - An introduction to Fourier mathematics that uses a build-up learning approach.
- Visual Perception by Tom N. Cornsweet - Another technical book on sight.
- The Astonishing Hypothesis by Francis Crick - About consciousness/the philosophy of mind.
- MATLAB for Neuroscientists by Pascal Wallisch, Michael Lusignan, et al. - How to use MATLAB, focusing on applications in neuroscience.
