Can computer scientists succeed by emulating biology? Or were Minsky and Papert right in 1969, when they claimed that the only future for computers is based on reason and the rules of logic? Sets forth the history of the neural network discipline, beginning with James's Psycholo…
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…
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.
This work presents a radical new view of the function of the brain and nervous system. It suggests that the nervous system in each individual operates as a selective system resembling natural selection in evolution but operating different mechanisms. By providing a fundamental n…
