THE HANDBOOK OF BRAIN THEORY AND NEURAL NETWORKS
edited by Michael A. Arbib
http://www-mitpress.mit.edu/mitp/recent-books/neuro/arbib.html
In hundreds of articles by experts and in overviews and "road maps"
prepared by the editor, The Handbook charts the immense progress made in
recent years in many specific areas related to two great questions: How
does the brain work? and How can we build intelligent machines?

DYNAMIC PATTERNS: The Self-Organization of Brain and Behavior
by J.A. Scott Kelso
Kelso's research has focused on extending the physical concepts of
self-organization and the mathematical tools of non-linear dynamics to
understand how human beings perceive, intend, learn, control, and
coordinate complex behaviors. In this book Kelso proposes a new,
general framework within which to connect brain, mind, and behavior.

AN INTRODUCTION TO NEURAL NETWORKS
by James A. Anderson
This textbook approaches networks from a broad neuroscience and
cognitive science perspective with an emphasis on the biology and
psychology behind the assumptions of the models, as well as on what the
models might be used for.
