Provides a review of the works in the evolving field of neural networks and brain studies. Its purpose is two-fold: to help physicists get a broader view of the context of a domain, and to help scientists of other disciplines to reach a better understanding of the physicists' contributions.

This book provides a comprehensive review of the works in the rapidly evolving field of neural networks and brain studies. Its purpose is two-fold: to help physicists entering this field to get a broader view of the context of the domain, and to help scientists of other disciplines to reach a better understanding of the physicists' contributions within a context of perspectives they can relate to.Included in the volume are 68 carefully selected, high quality reprints to provide the volume with both breadth and depth. It is organized into 5 sections and 22 chapters, both the sections and chapters being preceded by introductory comments by the editors.

Part 1 Setting the stage: forewords; introductory warnings; physics, biology, computation; computer and brain; logic and statistics; some perceptual facts and issues. Part 2 Biological concepts and methods. Part 3 computational goals and means; mental representations; information theory and perception; neuroanatomy; aspects of biocomputation. Part 4 Modes of computation: processing and learning; neural networks; parallel algorithms; generalization; learning a rule; early sensory processing; neural codes. Part 5 Brain areas, circuits and dynamics: sensory and motor pathways; bridges between psychophysics and physiology; structures and functions of various brain areas; representations of space in the brain; oscillations and synchrony. Part 6 Debates and speculations: theory-experimental interplay; roles of retroactivation; computational strategies; language and consciousness.
