Computing the Brain provides readers with an integrated view of current informatics research related to the field of neuroscience. This book clearly defines the new work being done in neuroinformatic …

The idea that some day robots may have emotions has captured the imagination of many and has been dramatized by robots and androids in such famous movies as 2001 Space Odyssey’s HAL or Star Trek’s Da …

Unlike any other species, humans can learn and use language. This book explains how the brain evolved to make language possible, through what Michael Arbib calls the Mirror System Hypothesis. Because …

A new, dramatically updated edition of the classic resource on the constantly evolving fields of brain theory and neural networks.Dramatically updating and extending the first edition, published in 1 …

Writings by a thinker-a psychiatrist, a philosopher, a cybernetician, and a poet-whose ideas about mind and brain were far ahead of his time.Warren S. Mc Culloch was an original thinker, in many resp …

This is an exciting time. The study of neural networks is enjoying a great renaissance, both in computational neuroscience – the development of information processing models of living brains – and in …

This is a book whose time has come-again. The first edition (published by Mc Graw-Hill in 1964) was written in 1962, and it celebrated a number of approaches to developing an automata theory that cou …

In the 1930s, mathematical logicians studied the notion of "effective comput- ability" using such notions as recursive functions, A-calculus, and Turing machines. The 1940s saw the construc …

Computability theory is at the heart of theoretical computer science. Yet, ironically, many of its basic results were discovered by mathematical logicians prior to the development of the first stored …

The major goal of this book is to present the techniques of top-down program design and verification of program correctness hand-in-hand. It thus aims to give readers a new way of looking at algorith …

The study of formal languages and of related families of automata has long been at the core of theoretical computer science. Until recently, the main reasons for this centrality were connected with t …

There are some types of complex systems that are built like clockwork, with well-defined parts that interact in well-defined ways, so that the action of the whole can be precisely analyzed and antici …

Computers and the Cybernetic Society, Second Edition examines the impact of computers on the cybernetic society and covers topics such as expert systems, management applications, and office automatio …

Various brain areas of mammals can phyletically be traced back to homologous structures in amphibians. The amphibian brain may thus be regarded as a kind of "microcosm" of the highly comple …

This paper is one of a series in which the ideas of category theory are applied to problems of system theory. As with the three principal earlier papers, [1-3], the emphasis is on study of the realiz …

The Central Nervous System can be considered as an aggregate of neurons specialized in both the transmission and transformation of information. Information can be used for many purposes, but probably …

This volume integrates theory and experiment to place the study of vision within the context of the action systems which use visual information. This theme is developed by stressing: (a) The importan …
