The Adaptive Brain

These books bring together recent neural models of vision, speech and language recognition and recall, cognitive self-organization, conditioning, reinforcement, motivation, attention, circadian rhythms, motor control, and certain mental disorders. In addition to unifying and predicting interdisciplinary data from psychology, psychophysiology, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and anatomy, the work suggests new real-time circuit designs for computer vision and speech devices, self-organizing pattern recognition machines, parallel processors, and adaptive robots.
