Neural Network Dynamics is the latest volume in the Perspectives in
Neural Computing series. It contains papers presented at the 1991
Workshop on Complex Dynamics in Neural Networks, held at IIASS in
Vietri, Italy. The workshop encompassed a wide range of topics in which
neural networks play a fundamental role, and aimed to bridge the gap
between neural computation and computational neuroscience. The papers -
which have been updated where necessary to include new results - are
divided into four sections, covering the foundations of neural network
dynamics, oscillatory neural networks, as well as scientific and
biological applications of neural networks. Among the topics discussed
are: A general analysis of neural network activity; Descriptions of
various network architectures and nodes; Correlated neuronal firing; A
theoretical framework for analyzing the behaviour of real and simulated
neuronal networks; The structural properties of proteins; Nuclear
phenomenology; Resonance searches in high energy physics; The
investigation of information storage; Visual cortical architecture;
Visual processing. Neural Network Dynamics is the first volume to
cover neural networks and computational neuroscience in such detail.
Although it is primarily aimed at researchers and postgraduate students
in the above disciplines, it will also be of interest to researchers in
electrical engineering, medicine, psychology and philosophy.
