Connectionism Movement in cognitive science which hopes to explain human intellectual abilities using artificial neural networks. By James W. Garson of the University of Houston. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/connectionism/
Extractions: NOV Philosophers have become interested in connectionism because it promises to provide an alternative to the classical theory of the mind: the widely held view that the mind is something akin to a digital computer processing a symbolic language. Exactly how and to what extent the connectionist paradigm constitutes a challenge to classicism has been a matter of hot debate in recent years. A neural network consists of large number of units joined together in a pattern of connections. Units in a net are usually segregated into three classes: input units, which receive information to be processed, output units where the results of the processing are found, and units in between called hidden units. If a neural net were to model the whole human nervous system, the input units would be analogous to the sensory neurons, the output units to the motor neurons, and the hidden units to all other neurons. Here is a simple illustration of a simple neural net: Each input unit has an activation value that represents some feature external to the net. An input unit sends its activation value to each of the hidden units to which it is connected. Each of these hidden units calculates its own activation value depending on the activation values it receives from the input units. This signal is then passed on to output units or to another layer of hidden units. Those hidden units compute their activation values in the same way, and send them along to their neighbors. Eventually the signal at the input units propagates all the way through the net to determine the activation values at all the output units.

Extractions: I am particularly interested in Cognitive Science and History (ancient and medieval), as in the various cultures of this world. Moreover, without being particularly gifted for languages, but with the same pleasure that I had to study at school: Latin, ancient Greek, Russian, and more recently German, I have just begun to learn Japanese language.

The Chiasma Press Small UK publisher of books in neuroscience and cognitive science. http://www.chiasmapress.com/
Extractions: site by b2IT Ltd The Chiasma Press is a small publishing house that was established in June 1999 to encourage bridge-building between the sciences and the arts. We do this by producing books that are both accessible to general readers and of interest to specialists. We use the Greek word chiasma, which refers to an x-shape, to symbolise our cross-cultural approach. Our present emphasis is on a particularly important bridge-building site, where neuroscience meets psychology and philosophy. Our books are commissioned according to an established programme and so we do not consider unsolicited submissions for publication. Our other web pages describe our books and how they may be obtained.

Extractions: "It often does more harm than good to force definitions on things we don't understand. Besides, only in logic and mathematics do definitions ever capture concepts perfectly. The things we deal with in practical life are usually too complicated to be represented by neat, compact expressions. Especially when it comes to understanding minds, we still know so little that we can't be sure our ideas about psychology are even aimed in the right directions. In any case, one must not mistake defining things for knowing what they are." Marvin Minsky, from The Society Of Mind With this warning from Professor Minsky keenly in mind, feel free to explore the dictionary entries below. As of December 5, 1995 73 entries have been made to the Dictionary. Currently, only the letters G, J, K, Q, U, X, and Y have no definitions associated with them. A B C D ... Dawson Home Page

Joseph Wakeling's Neural Systems Research Page Research papers and information on biologically inspired neural networks, brain modelling, AI and related topics. A crossdisciplinary site mixing information from physics, neuroscience, cognitive science and other fields. http://neuro.webdrake.net/
Extractions: Denmark jwakeling@webdrake.net Neural Systems Research home . papers source code books links What's new? A new paper is available, Adaptivity and 'Per learning' , written for a special issue of Physica A in memory of Per Bak. Work at the Niels Bohr Institute is being very productive and hopefully before too long there should be some new material for this site! This site is eternally, always, under construction. It describes results in neural systems research by me (Joseph Wakeling). At the time of writing I am pursuing a PhD in Theoretical Physics at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, after graduating from Imperial College, London, with an MSci in Mathematics. As well as my own research, you can find here links and information on other related papers and subjects that I feel are interesting or relevant, including AI, cognitive science and related physics research. What do physicists have to contribute to the understanding of neural systems? The aim is to gain an understanding of the fundamental mechanics that are at work. Neuroscientists have identified the 'macro' regions of the (human) brain responsible for many aspects of behaviour and/or experience - vision, hearing, touch, smell etc. - but macro regions of the brain differ from organism to organism. What is it that links the brain of a human with that of an octopus, that of a lobster, that of a lizard? In particular, what is it about the basic interactions of individual neurons that produces the overall behavioural patterns that we see?
