These eleven contributions by leaders in the fields of neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science cover the phenomenon of parallelism in both natural and artificial systems, from the neural architecture of the human brain to the electronic architecture of parallel computers.The brain's complex neural architecture not only supports higher mental processes, such as learning, perception, and thought, but also supervises the body's basic physiological operating system and oversees its emergency services of damage control and self-repair. By combining sound empirical observation with elegant theoretical modeling, neuroscientists are rapidly developing a detailed and convincing account of the organization and the functioning of this natural, living parallel machine. At the same time, computer scientists and engineers are devising imaginative parallel computing machines and the programming languages and techniques necessary to use them to create superb new experimental instruments for the study of all parallel systems.Michael A. Arbib is Professor of Computer Science, Neurobiology, and Physiology at the University of Southern California. J. Alan Robinson is University Professor at Syracuse University.Contents: Natural and Artificial Parallel Computation, M. A. Arbib, J. A. Robinson. The Evolution of Computing, R. E. Gomory.

�ber die Autorinnen und Autoren

Michael Arbib has played a leading role at the interface of neuroscience and computer science ever since his first book, Brains, Machines, and Mathematics.From Neuron to Cognition provides a worthy pedagogical sequel to his widely acclaimed Handbook of Brain Theory and Neural Networks. After thirty years at University of Southern California he is now pursuing interests in “how the brain got language” and “neuroscience for architecture” in San Diego.

Versandbedingungen

We use clingfilm to hold books tightly closed, in a lightweight padded envelope. Hardcover books are also framed in cardboard to protect corners and the spine.
For shipments within the UK we use Royal Mail 48 for weights up to 2kg. Rates based on average of parcel weight of 1kg per book. Royal Mail 24 is used for priority shipments and weights of 2-5kg.
Where possible, we will reduce shipping prices to the Large Letter rates where the books qualifies.
For international shipments we now use only tracked services. The premium rate alternative usually requires the signature of someone at the delivery address. Books weighing up to 5kg can be posted to most destinations.
For maximum transparency and fairness to buyers and our suppliers, we aim to charge only what we need to cover our costs for shipping. With this aim, we will be changing to a weight-based template for shipping as soon as possible.
