«L'invention de la mémoire» is the essay by Israel Rosenfield, published by Flammarion in paperback (218 pages, in French).
The essay argues that remembering is not retrieving a fixed image stored in the brain, but reconstructing the past. Israel Rosenfield reviews the work of Charcot, Broca and Dejerine, criticises the model of the brain as a computer and draws on Gerald Edelman's theory, according to which no memory centre is needed and each brain is unique.
The original English edition was published in 1988. This French edition belongs to the Champs collection and includes a foreword by Olivier Sacks.
For readers interested in neuroscience, psychology and the philosophy of mind.
