Abstract

From the Publisher:Coward develops a system model for the human brain based on a new physiologically based theory of learning and memory. Arguing that the brain can only be fully understood by application of consistent concepts to both psychology and physiology, he proposes that the necessary concept in constructing a model of brain function is the pattern. He then designs a model called the cascaded pattern extraction hierarchy to explain the functioning of the brain, showing that the brain can be visualized as a pattern extraction template, in which successive layers are able to extract increasingly complex patterns from relatively simply input.
