From Neuron to Cognition via Computational Neuroscience

Michael Arbib has played a leading role at the interface of neuroscience and computer science ever since his first book, Brains, Machines, and Mathematics.From Neuron to Cognition provides a worthy pedagogical sequel to his widely acclaimed Handbook of Brain Theory and Neural Networks. After thirty years at University of Southern California he is now pursuing interests in "how the brain got language" and "neuroscience for architecture" in San Diego. James J. Bonaiuto is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Sobell Department of Motor Neuroscience and Movement Disorders at University College London.
