The Book of GENESIS - Exploring Realistic Neural Models with the GEneral NEural SImulation System is the first publication to thoroughly and accurately describe how to use the "GENESIS" simulation/modeling software system available through the Internet file-server at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA., Department of Computation and Neural Systems. The first part of the book consists of edited contributions from an international team of neural networks researchers working with "GENESIS" which show the reader/user the kind of models/simulations which can be created by using the software. The second part is a step-by-step tutorial for all professionals, researchers and students working in the area of neural networks and the cognitive sciences. The material has been extensively class tested at Cal Tech and Woods Hole Oceanographic Labs, Massachusetts and shows the student/user how to effectively manipulate the software and use the material to one's best advantage.

<p>"The Book of GENESIS" is in two parts. Firstly, a collection of contributed articles describes projects created using the GENESIS system, and then a step-by-step tutorial explains how the software works and how best to manipulate it so as to achieve maximum use. As a result, this publication may be seen as a reference guide, a textbook for course use, and as a resource to which readers can turn for ideas on how to devise their own models and applications. The accompanying cross-platform CD-ROM contains the full source code for GENESIS and its graphical interface, XODUS; the GENESIS Reference Manual in hypertext, plain text and Postscript formats; numerous tutorial simulations and example simulation scripts, including all of those used in the book. As a bonus, also included on the CD are a number of items which are not part of the standard distribution of GENESIS. The GENESIS system will continue to be made available through the Cal Tech World Wide Web site, as well, at: www.bbb.caltech.edu/GENESIS.</p>
