Would anyone here be able to offer some book suggestions for tackling AI from the neuroscience/ biological perspective, as opposed to the computer science/ computational perspective? I want to expand my horizons.

The following suggestion is not about tackling AI from neuroscience/biological perspective, but one that critiques the computational view of mind/brain - which provides only a limited picture.

See the work of prof. Walter Freeman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Jackson_Freeman_III

Esp: Reclaiming Cognition - Ed. Nunez and Freeman.

Also see the work of Hubert Dreyfus.

These works will help you figure out what 'tackling AI from a neuroscience' perspective could actually mean.

I would suggest "Principles of Neural Design", a book that tries to explain why things might be engineered the way they are in biology:

"explains" and "might" are kind of at odds, here

I don't think anyone serious buys this version of the GUT. You'd be spending your time better reading Randy O'Reilly's work (CU Boulder). Or: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rethinking_Innateness

Wouldn't that be just "I", and the whole field of cognitive neuroscience?
