<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The third edition of my textbook and reference book, Introduction to Neural and Cognitive Modeling (Routledge, 2019) is now available in hardback, paperback, and e-book formats.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img width="228" height="343" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D4AB67.EDBB18F0" alt="Introduction to Neural and Cognitive Modeling: 3rd Edition, 3rd Edition (Paperback) book cover"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first part of the book explores the philosophy of modeling and the field’s history starting from the mid-1940s, then discusses models of associative learning and of short-term memory that provide building blocks for more complex recent
models. The second part reviews recent experimental findings in cognitive neuroscience and discusses models of conditioning, categorization, category learning, vision, visual attention, sequence learning, behavioral control, decision making, reasoning, and
creativity. The models are more abstract in the first part and more closely tied to specific brain regions in the second part.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The book includes two appendices: the first reviewing the mathematics used in network modeling, the second reviewing basic neuroscience at both the neuron and brain region levels. The ends of chapters include equations and three types of
exercises: simulations, mathematical problems, and thought experiments.<o:p></o:p></p>
