Confabulation theory examines how brain information processing, or cognition, works. This book presents a comprehensive look at confabulation theory, covering its conceptual elements, how it can be applied to real-world data, and how neurons implement the involved functional elements. This book is designed to be used both for self-study and as the basis for advanced undergraduate and graduate university courses. Only a knowledge of elementary mathematics is required. Engineers, scientists, and the educated public will find the book accessible.
