What We Are Reading Today: ‘Brain Flows’ by Michael W. Cole

What enables us not only to comprehend the world but also to find meaning in it? How does a brain engender a mind?

In “Brain Flows,” cognitive neuroscientist Michael Cole argues that movements (flows) of activity through brain networks create an improvised electrochemical symphony that generates our thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and actions.

Drawing on his decades of brain research, Cole traces the brain’s complex network organization, which transforms brain flows into representations, goal pursuits, and entire minds.
