The Handbook of Brain Theory and Neural Networks
edited by Michael A. Arbib

Now in Paperback

While many books discuss limited aspects of one subfield or another of
brain theory and neural networks, The Handbook of Brain Theory and Neural
Networks covers the entire sweep of topics--from detailed models of single
neurons, analyses of a wide variety of biological neural networks, and
connectionist studies of psychology and language, to mathematical analyses
of a variety of abstract neural networks, and technological applications
of adaptive, artificial neural networks.

Expository material makes the book accessible to readers with varied
backgrounds while still offering a clear view of the recent, specialized
research on specific topics.

Michael A. Arbib is Professor of Computer Science and Neurobiology, and
Director of the USC Brain Project at the University of Southern California.
