Professor Cotterill has assembled many of the leading experts in this burgeoning field to produce a review of advances. The volume reviews the creation of computer models of neural networks and their use in the study of neural function, of cognition, memory and vision.
There has been an enormous increase in research activity aimed at elucidating the basis for cortical activity in the brain. Among modern techniques used in this area of scientific endeavour, few have proved as popular as computer simulation. Model neural networks are the subject…
How developments in science and technology may enable the emergence of purely digital minds -- intelligent machines equal to or greater in power than the human brain.
The Red Queen's race -- The exponential nature of technology -- From Maxwell to the Internet -- The universal machine -- The quest for intelligent machines -- Cells, bodies, and brains -- Biology meets computation -- How the brain works -- Understanding the brain -- Brains, mind…
What do computers, cells, and brains have in common? Computers are electronic devices designed by humans; cells are biological entities crafted by evolution; brains are the containers and creators of our minds. But all are, in one way or another, information-processing devices. …
How developments in science and technology may enable the emergence of purely digital minds -- intelligent machines equal to or greater in power than the human brain.
This volume contains a selection of authoritative essays exploring the central questions raised by the conjectured technological singularity. In informed yet jargon-free contributions written by active research scientists, philosophers and sociologists, it goes beyond philosophi…
The idea that human history is approaching a singularity - that ordinary humans will someday be overtaken by artificially intelligent machines or cognitively enhanced biological intelligence, or both - has moved from the realm of science fiction to serious debate. Some singulari…
