A foremost scholar in comparative cognition--a discipline closely connected to behavioral biology, evolution, and cognitive neuroscience--author Sara J. Shettleworth delivers a focused treatment of the essentials in writing that is both lucid and captivating. Brief, yet brimming with detail, Fundamentals of Comparative Cognition conveys the richness and complexity of this diverse field while addressing two fundamental questions: "What makes us uniquely human?" and "What do our minds share with other creatures?"

The Hippocampus as a Cognitive Map

O'Keefe, John

Medical Books

This volume contains the best lectures from the Summer School Lectures volumes dealing with the theme of pattern formation. Topics include self-organization by simulated evolution, nonlinear dynamics of pattern formation in physics and biology, and the emergence of computational ecologies.

For six years the Complex Systems Summer School has contributed greatly to education and research into complex systems. 1993 Lectures in Complex Systems  presents a wide array of topics in the field, including condensed matter dynamics, self-organized criticality, complex fluids, evolution, time series analysis, and neural models of perception. This book is a compilation of many of the lectures and contributions of the 1993 Complex Systems Summer School. The collective volumes in the Series ( Lectures in the Sciences of Complexity, 1989 Lectures in the Sciences of Complexity, 1990 Lectures in Complex Systems, 1991 Lectures in Complex Systems, 1992 Lectures in Complex Systems and now 1993 Lectures in Complex Systems ) comprise a growing, broad, interdisciplinary review of the many sciences of complexity—a review unavailable elsewhere.Lectures included in This Volume:S.N. Coopersmith: Complex Structures and Dynamics in Condensed Matter SystemsC.A. MacKen and P.F. Stadler: Evolution of Fitness LandscapesB.W. Mel: Information Processing in Dendritic TreesB.K. Sawhill: Self-Organized Criticality and Complexity TheoryO. Aporns: Neural Models of Perception and BehaviorR. Tagg: Instabilities and the Origin of Complexity in Fluid FlowsK.

Mathematics

This book reflects the topics discussed in the 1990 Complex Systems Summer School, covering both the nature and substance of the lectures and seminars that deal with experimental results and numerical simulations on sand piles, avalanches, and self-organized criticality.

For four years the Complex Systems Summer School has contributed greatly to education and research into complex systems. 1991 Lectures in Complex Systems presents a wide array of topics in the field, including neural network models for pattern recognition, pattern formation in biological systems, artificial life, ordering condensed matter, fractal time dynamics, cellular automata, complex pattern recognition, and random boolean networks. This book is a compilation of many of the lectures and contributions of the 1991 Complex Systems Summer School, and compliments the previous volumes in this series, Lectures in the Sciences of Complexity  edited by Daniel Stein, 1989 Lectures in Complex Systems edited by Erica Jen, and 1990 Lectures in Complex Systems  edited by Lynn Nadel and Daniel Stein.

1991 Lectures In Complex Systems (SANTA FE INSTITUTE STUDIES IN THE SCIENCES OF COMPLEXITY LECTURES)

For five years the Complex Systems Summer School has contributed greatly to education and research into complex systems. 1992 Lectures in Complex Systems presents a wide array of topics in the field, including chaos, adaptive computation, neuronal oscillations, computational ecologies, the geometry of excitability, quenched disorder, biomolecular complexity, and nonlinear dynamics of social systems. This book is a compilation of many of the lectures and contributions of the 1992 Complex Systems Summer School. The collective volumes in the Series ( Lectures in the Sciences of Complexity, 1989 Lectures in the Sciences of Complexity, 1990 Lectures in Complex Systems, 1991 Lectures in Complex Systems, and now 1992 Lectures in Complex Systems ) comprise a growing, broad, interdisciplinary review of the many sciences of complexity—a review unavailable elsewhere.Lectures included in This Volume:Melanie Mitchell: Genetic AlgorithmsCharles M.

The Origin of Values (Sociology and Economics)

Although values play a leading role in nearly every explanatory theory in the broad realm of the social and behavioral sciences, very little multidisciplinary research material on values is available. Addressing this need, the editors bring together distinguished social scientists, psychologists, and biologists who collaboratively explore fundamental questions about values: What are the determinants of social values, taboos, and ideologies? What are the determinants of individual values? What is the nature of motivations and rewards? Is there an evolutionary basis for the development of values?

Neural Connections, Mental Computation addresses the key questions of whether connectionist models are computationally sufficient to account for complex cognitive functions and whether connectionism can account for such functions in a neurobiologically realistic way.
