| Publisher Description: If you want to understand the latest scientific thinking about the relations between mind and brain, meet Allman's Apprentices of Wonder.--Howard Gardner, author of The Mind's New Science: A History of Cognitive Revolution In the vein of The Soul of a New Machine comes this accessible book on the scientists who are creating startling theories of how the mind works as they forge a kind of artificial intelligence called neural networks--or, the first thinking machines. This snappy introduction to the possibilities of the new sciences of connectionism will inform readers why mahy brain scientists are excited--and why the skeptics remain to be persuaded.--Pamela McCorduck, coauthor, with Mitchell Feigenbaum, of The Fifth Generation and author of Machines Who Think and The Universal Machine |
