A highly readable, non-mathematical introduction to neural
networks-computer models that help us to understand how we
perceive, think, feel, and act. How does the brain work? How do
billions of neurons bring about ideas, sensations, emotions, and
actions? Why do children learn faster than elderly people? What can
go wrong in perception, thinking, learning, and acting? Scientists
now use computer models to help us to understand the most private
and human experiences. In The Mind Within the Net, Manfred Spitzer
shows how these models can fundamentally change how we think about
learning, creativity, thinking, and acting, as well as such matters
as schools, retirement homes, politics, and mental disorders.
Neurophysiology has told us a lot about how neurons work; neural
network theory is about how neurons work together to process
information. In this highly readable book, Spitzer provides a
basic, nonmathematical introduction to neural networks and their
clinical applications. Part I explains the fundamental theory of
neural networks and how neural network models work. Part II covers
the principles of network functioning and how computer simulations
of neural networks have profound consequences for our understanding
of how the brain works. Part III covers applications of network
models (e.g., to knowledge representation, language, and mental
disorders such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease) that shed
new light on normal and abnormal states of mind. Finally, Spitzer
concludes with his thoughts on the ramifications of neural networks
for the understanding of neuropsychology and human nature.
