Abstract

L’objectif est de fournir au lecteur un état de la question simple et intuitif de l’émergence et de l’expansion rapide d’une discipline complexe : le connexionnisme. Le connexionnisme a révolutionné de manière transversale de nombreuses disciplines scientifiques telles que l’intelligence artificielle, la psychologie, les neurosciences, la philosophie, la linguistique et, plus largement, les sciences cognitives. Par voie de conséquence, de nombreux étudiants, chercheurs mais aussi le grand public sont intéressés et demandeurs d’information dans ce domaine en expansion constante depuis 3 décennies. Malheureusement, les ouvrages actuels dans le domaine du connexionnisme sont trop techniques (ce qui n’intéresse que les chercheurs du domaine) et n’ont pas de recul sur la discipline en elle-même : ce qu’elle peut apporter, son évolution passée, présente ainsi que les pistes de recherches actuelles. Par ailleurs, l’essentiel des ouvrages dans le domaine sont en anglais, ce qui restreint de façon substantielle l’audience. L’objectif de cet ouvrage est donc d’apporter une réponse à ces deux aspects par une démarche de vulgarisation de cette discipline complexe.

Abstract

The declared goal of this book, an extended and revised translation of the German edition (2021), is to show how a unified model of the psyche and body can be developed via insights from psychoanalysis, neurology and computer technology. On the one hand, such a model allows for the testing of psychological and social theories on a scientific basis with the help of simulation experiments. On the other hand, the model developed according to the functional structures of the human brain and psyche provides the basis for artificial intelligence systems. These are systems with cognitive capabilities that can save human lives, save energy, ensure safety at airports, provide support in old-age care and in the medical field; in other words and generally speaking, systems that can simplify our lives in a relevant way and on a broad basis.

Abstract

The goal of computational cognitive neuroscience is to understand how the brain embodies the mind by using biologically based computational models comprising networks of neuronlike units. This text, based on a course taught by Randall O'Reilly and Yuko Munakata over the past several years, provides an in-depth introduction to the main ideas in the field. The neural units in the simulations use equations based directly on the ion channels that govern the behavior of real neurons, and the neural networks incorporate anatomical and physiological properties of the neocortex. Thus the text provides the student with knowledge of the basic biology of the brain as well as the computational skills needed to simulate large-scale cognitive phenomena. The text consists of two parts. The first part covers basic neural computation mechanisms: individual neurons, neural networks, and learning mechanisms. The second part covers large-scale brain area organization and cognitive phenomena: perception and attention, memory, language, and higher-level cognition. The second part is relatively self-contained and can be used separately for mechanistically oriented cognitive neuroscience courses. Integrated throughout the text are more than forty different simulation models, many of them full-scale research-grade models, with friendly interfaces and accompanying exercises. The simulation software (PDP++, available for all major platforms) and simulations can be downloaded free of charge from the Web. Exercise solutions are available, and the text includes full information on the software.

Abstract

Mirror neurons may hold the brain's key to social interaction - each coding not only a particular action or emotion but also the recognition of that action or emotion in others. The Mirror System Hypothesis adds an evolutionary arrow to the story - from the mirror system for hand actions, shared with monkeys and chimpanzees, to the uniquely human mirror system for language. In this accessible volume, experts from child development, computer science, linguistics, neuroscience, primatology and robotics present and analyse the mirror system and show how studies of action and language can illuminate each other. Topics discussed in the fifteen chapters include: what do chimpanzees and humans have in common? Does the human capability for language rest on brain mechanisms shared with other animals? How do human infants acquire language? What can be learned from imaging the human brain? How are sign- and spoken-language related? Will robots learn to act and speak like humans?
