The Handbook of Brain Theory and Neural Networks (2003)Michael A. Arbib
This chapter serves as an introduction to Part II of the Handbook, which offers a guided tour through 22 thematic road maps covering diverse topics in brain theory and neural networks. It outlines the organization of these road maps into eight general categories, ranging from biological models of neurons to applications in artificial intelligence, and emphasizes the interconnectedness and multiple approaches to studying brain function and neural computation. The chapter also discusses the methodological distinctions between biological realism and connectionist models, and encourages readers to explore the material in a flexible, personalized order.
