<b>An anniversary edition of the classic work that influenced a generation of neuroscientists and cognitive neuroscientists.</b><p>Before <i>The Computational Brain</i> was published in 1992, conceptual frameworks for brain function were based on the behavior of single neurons, applied globally. In <i>The Computational Brain,</i> Patricia Churchland and Terrence Sejnowski developed a different conceptual framework, based on large populations of neurons. They did this by showing that patterns of activities among the units in trained artificial neural network models had properties that resembled those recorded from populations of neurons recorded one at a time. It is one of the first books to bring together computational concepts and behavioral data within a neurobiological framework. Aimed at a broad audience of neuroscientists, computer scientists, cognitive scientists, and philosophers, <i>The Computational Brain</i> is written for both expert and novice.
