This introductory text teaches students to understand, simulate, and analyze the complex behaviors of individual neurons and brain circuits.
The thirty original contributions in this book provide a working definition of"computational neuroscience" as the area in which problems lie simultaneously within computerscience and neuroscience.
This book describes the algorithms and architectures that are driving progress in AI research in this language, by comparing current AI systems and biological brains side by side.
The book is divided into four parts. Part I provides an extensive but basic overview of neural network modeling, including its history, present, and future trends. It also includes chapters on attention, memory, and primate studies.
This is followed by two more chapters on advanced models, that of recurrent neural networks and that of reinforcement learning. The book closes with a brief discussion on the impact of machine learning and AI on our society.
This book offers an introduction to nonlinear dynamical systems theory for researchers and graduate students in neuroscience.
