Reviews for Freudian Unconscious and Cognitive Neuroscience: From Unconscious Fantasies to Neural Algorithms

"""Talvitie (an occupational psychologist based in Finland) explores Freudian conceptions of the unconscious in light of the empirical and theoretical work of cognitive science and evolutionary theory. He reviews the phenomena that have been explained with reference to the ""unconscious,"" ""mind,"" and ""consciousness;"" discusses the ontological presuppositions found within psychoanalytic understandings of the unconscious; and addresses Freudian ideas in light of recent cognitive science research concerning memory, attention, implicit knowledge, neural algorithms, and the self, as well as Daniel Dennett's model of intentional, physical, and design-level explanations of the mind.""-- (03/01/2010)"
