Perspectives for understanding the brain vary across disciplines and this has challenged our
ability to describe the brain's functions. In this comment, we discuss how emerging …

Churchland and Sejnowski address the foundational ideas of the emerging field of
computational neuroscience, examine a diverse range of neural network models, and …

Computational neuroscience is the theoretical study of the brain to uncover the principles
and mechanisms that guide the development, organization, information processing, and …

In this groundbreaking work, computer scientist Leslie G. Valiant details a promising new
computational approach to studying the intricate workings of the human brain. Focusing on …

In order to understand how the brain works, it is essential to know what is computed by
different brain systems, and how those computations are performed. Brain Computations …

When the terms “intelligence” or “intelligent” are used by scientists, they are referring to a
large collection of human cognitive behaviors—people thinking. When life scientists speak …

To learn how cognition is implemented in the brain, we must build computational models
that can perform cognitive tasks, and test such models with brain and behavioral …

Looking at ways to encode prior knowledge and to extract, refine, and revise knowledge
within a neurocomputing system. Neurocomputing methods are loosely based on a model of …

How does the brain work? After a century of research, we still lack a coherent view of how
neurons process signals and control our activities. But as the field of computational …
