Description :
An Introduction to Neural Networks falls into a new ecological niche for texts. Based on notes that have been class tested for more than a decade, it is aimed at cognitive science and neuroscience students who need to understand brain function in terms of computational modeling and at engineers who want to go beyond formal algorithms to applications and computing strategies. It is the only current text to approach networks both from a broad neuroscience and cognitive science perspective, with an increased emphasis on the biology and psychology governing the assumptions of the models as well as on what the models might be used for. It describes the mathematical and computational tools needed and provides an account of the author’s own ideas.
