Materia de reflexión es un libro que presenta un debate entre dos importantes científicos, un matemático y un biólogo, sobre la existencia de la realidad en las matemáticas y la relación entre el cerebro y los entes matemáticos. Los autores exploran si las máquinas pueden reproducir las facultades racionales e inventivas del cerebro humano y si una ética puede fundamentarse en principios matemáticos universales. El diálogo permite a los científicos afinar sus puntos de vista, convergiendo en algunos aspectos y divergiendo en otros, invitando al lector a reflexionar sobre estas cuestiones.
Jean-Pierre Changeux is a French neuroscientist known for his research in several fields of biology, from the structure and function of proteins, to the early development of the nervous system up to cognitive functions. Although being famous in biological sciences for the MWC model, the identification and purification of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, the theory of epigenesis by synapse selection and the global neuronal workspace theory for conscious processing are also notable scientific achievements. Changeux is known by the non-scientific public for his ideas regarding the connection between mind and physical brain. As put forth in his book, Conversations on Mind, Matter and Mathematics, Changeux strongly supports the view that the nervous system functions in a projective rather than reactive style and that interaction with the environment, rather than being instructive, results in the selection amongst a diversity of preexisting internal representations.
