>  * 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.
