The brain is the most complex Computational machine known to science, even though its components (neurons) are slow and unreliable compared to a laptop computer.
Evidence from a diverse range of research papers is used to show how Information theory defines absolute limits on Neural efficiency; limits which ultima.
In this richly illustrated book, Shannon\'s mathematical theory of Information is used to explore the Metabolic Efficiency of neurons, with special reference to visual perception.
