Around Alain Berthoz. Crossing frontiers to decipher the brain

This book presents the intellectual and scientific work of Alain Berthoz. Alongside him, a number of scientists from different disciplines and nationalities offer a synthesis of his contributions in his preferred fields - neuroscience, physiology and cognitive science - and show how he has succeeded in creating links between the natural sciences and the humanities and social sciences, and even robotics and the arts, fostering a fertile circulation of knowledge and approaches.

The whole is a veritable journey through the sciences, and sometimes takes on a more personal dimension when it evokes encounters and anecdotes. It bears witness to the international influence of the great researcher Alain Berthoz, his ability to transcend disciplinary boundaries and his talent for uniting researchers around innovative themes.
