About this Item

The model detailed in the book, and referred to again in many of Edward de Bono's other books, is one of Neurones networked together by many stronger and weaker connections and activating as a result of input stimulus or stimulation from other neurones that are themselves active. Neurones that are active together form stronger connections and are more likely to activate together in the future. The model is a Self-organizing system. London. Jonathan Cape. 1969. Uncorrected proof copy. Note on flyleaf stating 'already published'. Illustrated with many diagrams throughout. Yellow wraps a little grubby and creasing to spine although title still clear and legible. Pages a little age toned It is not intended that the model be a detailed analysis of how human brains are structured but the broadest possible abstraction that can provide meaningful understanding of the nature of thinking. Nor is it intended to build a cohesive theory but to provide the reader with a collection of concepts that will illuminate further thinking about thinking.
