Researchers will find Neurocomputing an essential guide to the
concepts employed in this field that have been taken from disciplines
as varied as neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, engineering,
and physics. A number of these important historical papers contain
ideas that have not yet been fully exploited, while the more recent
articles define the current direction of neurocomputing and point to
future research. Each article has an introduction that places it in
historical and intellectual perspective.
Included in the 43 articles are the pioneering contributions of
McCulloch and Pitts, Hebb, and Lashley; innovative work by Von
Neumann, Minsky and Papert, Cooper, Grossberg, and Kohonen; exciting
new developments in parallel distributed processing.
James A. Anderson is Professor in the Department of Cognitive and
Linguistic Sciences at Brown University. Edward Rosenfeld is editor
and publisher of the newsletter Intelligence.
