Mainstream theories of the brain are often expressed through engineering concepts—computation, code, control, reverse-engineering, optimization.
These theories cast the living organism as a machine and the brain as a computer.
The fact that cognition is a biological phenomenon seems merely anecdotal; biology is considered just “implementation.”
In “The Brain, In Theory,” Romain Brette argues that the brain is not a “biological computer” because living organisms are not engineered.

“Random Walks in Biology” provides a lucid, straightforward introduction to the concepts and techniques of statistical physics that students of biology, biochemistry, and biophysics must know.
Howard Berg offers an essential foundation for understanding random motions of molecules, subcellular particles, and cells as well as the processes that are affected by such motions.
Using the concept of “random walks” of individual particles, Berg illuminates the physics involved in diffusion, sedimentation, electrophoresis, chromatography, and cell motility.
