An investigation of intelligence as an emergent phenomenon, integrating the perspectives of evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Emergence-the formation of global patterns from solely local interactions-is a frequent and fascinating theme in the scientific literature both popular and academic. In this book, Keith Downing undertakes a systematic investigation of the widespread (if often vague) claim that intelligence is an emergent phenomenon. Downing focuses on neural networks, both natural and artificial, and how their adaptability in three time frames-phylogenetic (evolutionary), ontogenetic (developmental), and epigenetic (lifetime learning)-underlie the emergence of cognition. Integrating the perspectives of evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, Downing provides a series of concrete examples of neurocognitive emergence. Doing so, he offers a new motivation for the expanded use of bio-inspired concepts in artificial intelligence (AI), in the subfield known as Bio-AI. One of Downing's central claims is that two key concepts from traditional AI, search and representation, are key to understanding emergent intelligence as well. He first offers introductory chapters on five core concepts: emergent phenomena, formal search processes, representational issues in Bio-AI, artificial neural networks (ANNs), and evolutionary algorithms (EAs). Intermediate chapters delve deeper into search, representation, and emergence in ANNs, EAs, and evolving brains. Finally, advanced chapters on evolving artificial neural networks and information-theoretic approaches to assessing emergence in neural systems synthesize earlier topics to provide some perspective, predictions, and pointers for the future of Bio-AI.

A computer that thinks like a person has long been the dream of computer designers. The author uses his 35 years of computer design experience to describe the mechanisms of a thinking computer. These mechanisms include recall, recognition, learning, doing procedures, speech, vision, attention, intelligence, and consciousness. Included are experiments that demonstate the mechanisms described. The experiments use software that the reader can download from the internet and run on his or her personal computer (PC). The software includes a large engram file containing knowledge we use on a daily basis. Additional experiments allow the reader to write and run new engrams. The computer architecture of the human brain is first described. Standard methods of computer design are next used to convert the architecture into thinking computer implementations spanning a range of performace levels. Lastly, the operation of a thinking computer is presented.

In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the architectures and modelling in neurocomputing. Topics discussed include a brain-computer interface for analysing investment behaviour and market stability; neural-based image segmentation architecture with execution on a GPU; EEG montages for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease; design and training of neural architectures using extreme learning machines and the systematic comparison of single and multiple hidden-layer neural networks.

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are computer based systems that are designed to simulate the learning process of neurons in the human brain. ANNs have been attracting great interest during the last decade as predictive models and pattern recognition. Artificial neural networks possess the ability to "learn" from a set of experimental data without actual knowledge of the physical and chemical laws that govern the system. Therefore, ANNs application in data treatment is high, especially where systems present non-linearities and complex behaviour. This book describes the application of artificial neural networks for modelling of water and wastewater treatment processes.

Thermodynamic analysis of the refrigeration system is very complex because of the thermodynamic properties equations of working fluids, involving the solution of complex differential equations.
