This is an exciting era in neuroscience. As the editors of this book have stated, although the field has existed for two centuries, progress to understand the complexity of the brain has in many ways been slow. With the advance of new technologies, this is now changing fast. Noninvasive forms of brain imaging such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, revolutionary techniques such as optogenetics and CLARITY are now giving an enormous amount of new data at an unprecedented level of detail for the nervous system. This is an edited book by Gary Marcus and JeremyFreeman, ‘The Future of the Brain’ (Princeton University Press, 2015). Gary Marcus is professor of psychology and neural science at New York University, visitor at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, and a best-selling author. Jeremy Freeman is a neuroscientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Farm Research Campus.
