1st Edition
Neuroscience and Connectionist Theory
Written for cognitive scientists, psychologists, computer scientists, engineers, and neuroscientists, this book provides an accessible overview of how computational network models are being used to model neurobiological phenomena. Each chapter presents a representative example of how biological data and network models interact with the authors' research. The biological phenomena cover network- or circuit-level phenomena in humans and other higher-order vertebrates.

"...provides good evidence that neuroscience continues to provide new inspiration for computational modelers."
—Artificial Intelligence"There are important messages that can be gleaned by contemplating the collection as a whole....The future of computational neuroscience over the long-term must involve psychologists if it is to maintatin relevance and intellectual rigor. Neuroscience and Connectionist Theory points the way."
