I'm finally reading Pessoa's The Cognitive-Emotional Brain, and I wrote a brief essay on it. I'm staying pretty high level, even though the book is pretty detailed and technical.
I hope to write a few posts on general thoughts as I read through it. I wish I'd gotten to it in grad school, because there's a lot of thoughtful analysis there!

Thanks Alex, very kind piece! That book was written in a technical way as you mention, very different from the more recent The Entangled Brain which targets a broader audience.
@PessoaBrain@psychology@neuroscience yes, I am actually getting a copy the The Entangled Brain soon! I really appreciate the work you’ve done. I feel like it’s helping me trace out debates in the literature that I haven’t read about. I hope it encourages some people to look into the book!
you can fast-read most of it... except for the last three chapters, when starts the proposal of rethinking #neurotheory in regards of #complexsystems & #networkscience ;)
@teixi@PessoaBrain@psychology@neuroscience awesome! Thanks for pointing me to this podcast. I used to listen to Brain Science Podcast all the time, but I thought it had stopped being created. Great to see that it’s still going and interviewing innovators like Pessoa!
