Includes bibliographical references and index
What the brain cannot tell us about the mind -- How neurons form networks -- Theories and models of how the mind functions -- What are connectionist networks? -- How our networks learn -- Connecting the networks: how different things are related -- Evidence for connectionist models -- Two different types of memory -- Coping with disaster -- Practical implications -- Criticism of connectionist theory
Will brain scientists ever be able to read our minds? Why are some things harder to remember than others? Neural networks are used to address these questions and others, in a clear and informative manner, by examining how the structure of the brain shapes the workings of the mind
