Abstract
The five papers in Session II on computer applications cover a range of scientific problems which emphasize the essential role of modern computer technology and in particular interactive computer graphics in conducting advanced research in molecular biology, clinical medicine, and the neural sciences. The work of Bob Langridge in the application of interactive computer graphics to the study of large biological molecules, and the CAR-TOS system described by Cy Levinthal to produce three-dimensional reconstruction from serial histological sections to expand our knowledge of the anatomical relationships among nerves, are representative of the role that computers are playing in expanding the horizons of basic biological research. The insightful papers by Saul Amarel and D. R. Reddy, as well as the remarks of the session chairman, Ed Feigenbaum, represent exciting introductions to the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to important problems in the life sciences. The paper by Amarel introduces the reader to the applications of AI to medicine and psychology, while the paper by Reddy describes the application of AI to computer speech understanding. The fascinating neural science research described by Joe Hind demonstrates the vital role of computers in research in auditory neurophysiology, especially in problems of spike train analysis arising in studies of auditorv stimulus coding.
