recalling this book, before purchase, seems to have overly generic intro —from toc: unix git numpy pandas https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691222738/data-science-for-neuroimaging — but then #neuroImaging only covers #nipy #nibabel ?
1. alternative #neurobooks covering broader #neuroimaging #Neurotech ?
2. #brainimaging #neurotech software tools comparison table alternative update to this one ?

Amazing to find @albertcardona OP cited book:
'Principles of neural science' Kandel et al (yet 5th edition)
Listed in the #neuroscience Basic literature section in @MolemanPeter site:

Would suggest one for now

Which basic/fundamental #neurobooks would you suggest to add to the list?
These are the most important books I read. They are basic to my knowledge. I do not always explicitly refer to the source when I make use of this material in my writing.

Interestingly refused the use of digital devices to build those only with analog and mechanic ones...
Nowadays still few #tortoise preserved —public display?— in a Bristol museum:

But his eeg device, the toposcope still unknown to find, aside for few photos:

While his „The Living Brain” still top favorite #neurobooks ;)

You might also appreciate this quote from one of my favorite #NeuroBooks

My weekend to finish reading @PessoaBrain book that skips the term `conscience` in it —explicitly!?
Then to read their critical review of it —with implicit reasons?!

whose title I guess is a pun to: https://ndpr.nd.edu/reviews/every-thing-must-go-metaphysics-naturalized/
Abstract. In The Entangled Brain, Pessoa criticizes standard approaches in cognitive neuroscience in which the brain is seen as a functionally decomposable, modular system with causal operations built up hierarchically. Instead, he advocates for an emergentist perspective whereby dynamic brain networks are associated, not with traditional psychological categories, but with behavioral functions characterized in evolutionary terms. Here, we raise a number of concerns with such a radical approach. We ultimately believe that although much revision to cognitive neuroscience is welcome and needed, Pessoa's more radical proposals may be counterproductive.
» Disciplines, we learn, are entangled too.
So, what is the remedy for reductionism?
...
“many relatively simple interacting parts“ exhibit “emergent” behaviors.
Emergence can be invoked as a free miracle, and the misuse of networks lends itself to hairball graphs.
However, @PessoaBrain amalgamation of systems theory, cybernetics, and network science is a necessary step. «
