The Handbook of Brain Theory and Neural Networks

[Michael A. Arbib]

In an earlier posting, the following paragraph was garbled:

The heart of the book, Part III, is comprised
of 266 original articles by leaders in the various fields, arranged
alphabetically by title.    Parts I and II, written by the editor, 
are designed to help readers orient themselves to this vast range of material. 

PART I - BACKGROUND introduces several basic neural models, 
explains how the present study of Brain Theory and  Neural 
Networks integrates brain theory, artificial intelligence, and 
cognitive psychology, and provides a tutorial on the concepts 
essential for understanding neural networks as dynamic, adaptive 
systems. 

PART II - ROAD MAPS provides an entre into the many articles 
of Part III via an introductory "Meta-Map" and twenty-three road maps 
each of which provide a tour of all the Part III article on the chosen theme.
