Where Are theNeuronsin Neural Networks?

Abstract

James A. Anderson is Professor and Chair of the Department of Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences at Brown University, where he has been since 1976. He obtained his Ph.D. in Physiology at MIT in 1967, and has amongst other positions served as a member of the Governing Board of the International Neural Network Society and as Chair of the Cognitive Functional Neuroscience Study Section of NIMH. His primary research interests are artificial neural network modeling with an emphasis on cognitive applications. He has edited (with E. Rosenfeld)Neurocomputing:Foundations of Research, (MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1988) and (with A. Pellionisz and E. Rosenfeld)Neurocomputing2:Directions for Research, (MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1990). Richard M. Golden is an Assistant Professor of Cognitive Science in the Cognition and Neuroscience Program in the School of Human Development, University of Texas at Dallas. His primary research interests are mathematical models of higher level cognitive processes and the mathematical analysis of high-dimensional nonlinear artificial neural network models. He has just completed the bookMathematical Methods for Neural Network Analysis and Design, (MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, in press).
