Cognitive Computation - Celebrating the legacy of the late Professor John G
Taylor

////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////

 * DESCRIPTION

The scope of the special issue is to celebrate the work of the late
Professor John G Taylor. Professor Taylor began his career in 1956 as a
theoretical physicist and has contributed many seminal papers and books to
high energy physics, black holes, quantum gravity and string theory. He
held positions in leading Universities in the UK, USA and Europe in physics
and mathematics. He created the Centre for Neural Networks at King‘s
College, London, in 1990, and is still its Director. He was appointed
Emeritus  Professor of Mathematics of London University in 1996. He was
Guest Scientist at the Research Centre in Juelich,  Germany, 1996-8,
working on brain imaging and data analysis. He has acted as consultant in
Neural Networks to several companies. He is the Director of Research on
Global Bond products and Tactical Asset Allocation for a financial
investment company involved in time series prediction. He is presently
European Editor-in-Chief of the journal *Neural Networks *and was President
of the International Neural Network Society (1995) and the European Neural
Network Society (1993/4). Since 2009, he is founding Chair of the Advisory
Editorial Board for the  journal *Cognitive Computation*.



Prof. Taylor worked in the field of Neural Networks since 1969. He has
contributed ever since to all aspects of neural

networks and cognitive computation including their applications to finance
and robotics.



Specifically, research topics Prof. Taylor contributed to include but are
not limited to:


-- Noisy nets, synapses and the pRAM chip

-- Dynamics of learning processes

-- Mathematical analysis of neural networks and their
hardware implementations

-- Neural network models of perception, attention, learning and memory,
decision making, motor control, cognitive control, observational learning,
emotions, thinking, reasoning, conceptualization, knowledge representation,
language and consciousness

-- Neural network applications to finance, robotics and brain imaging


The issue will consider original research articles, review articles,
letters and commentaries from former and current students, junior and
senior colleagues of Professor Taylor. All submitted articles should
clearly state in what way their work is based on Prof. Taylor’s previous
research and how it extends it.



* EDITORS

The reviewing process will be supervised by guest Editors
(VassilisCutsuridis and Amir Hussain), together with theeditorial
Board of the Cognitive Computation journal.


* DEADLINES

Deadlines are as follows:


-- Submission deadline: October 1, 2012
