There is a tradition of theoretical brain science which started in
the forties (Wiener, McCulloch, Turing, Craik, Hebb). This was
continued by a small number of people without interruption up to
the present. It has definitely provided main guiding lines for
brain science, the devel opment of which has been spectacular in
the last decades. However, within the bulk of experimental
neuroscience, the theoreticians some times had a difficult stand,
since it was felt that the times were not ripe yet and the methods
not yet available for a development of a true theoretical
speciality in this field. Thus theory remained in the hands of a
fairly small club which recruited its members from theoretical
physicists, mathematicians and some experimentalists with
amateurish theoretical leanings. The boom of approaches which go by
the name of 'computational neuroscience', 'neuronal networks',
'associative mem ory', 'spinglass theory', 'parallel processing'
etc. should not blind one for the fact that the group of people
professionally interested in real istic models of brain function up
to the present date remains rather small and suffers from a lack of
professional organization. It was against this background that we
decided to organize a meet ing on Theoretical Brain Science. The
meeting was held April 18 - 20, 1990 and took place at Schloss
Ringberg, West-Germany, a facility sponsored by the
Max-Planck-Society.
