Description: How to Build a Brain : A Neural Architecture for Biological Cognition, Paperback by Eliasmith, Chris, ISBN 0190262125, ISBN-13 9780190262129, Brand New, Free shipping in the US One goal of researchers in neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence is to build theoretical models that can explain the flexibility and adaptiveness of biological systems. How to Build a Brain provides a guided exploration of a new cognitive architecture that takes biological
detail seriously while addressing cognitive phenomena. The Semantic Pointer Architecture (SPA) introduced in this book provides a set of tools for constructing a wide range of biologically constrained perceptual, cognitive, and motor models.
Examples of such models are provided to explain a wide range of data including single-cell recordings, neural population activity, reaction times, error rates, choice behavior, and fMRI signals. Each of the models addressed in th introduces a major feature of biological cognition, including
semantics, syntax, control, learning, and memory. These models are presented as integrated considerations of brain function, giving rise to what is currently the worlds largest functional brain model.
Th also compares the Semantic Pointer Architecture with the current state of the art, addressing issues of theory construction in the behavioral sciences, semantic compositionality, and scalability, among other considerations. Th concludes with a discussion of conceptual challenges
raised by this architecture, and identifies several outstanding challenges for SPA and other cognitive architectures.
Along the way, th considers neural coding, concept representation, neural dynamics, working memory, neuroanatomy, reinforcement learning, and spike-timing dependent plasticity. Eight detailed, hands-on tutorials exploiting the free Nengo neural simulation environment are also included,
providing practical experience with the concepts and models presented throughout.
