Abstract :
Principals of neurodynamics: Perceptrons in the theory of brain mechanisms sets forth the principals, motivations, and accomplishment of perceptron theory. It also provides a text for those who are interested in a serious study of neurodynamics. Part I reviews the background, basic sources of data, concepts, and methodology to be employed in the study of perceptrons. Part II deals with the theory of 3-layer series-coupled perceptrons, on which most work has been done to date. Part III treats the theory of multilayer and cross-coupled perceptrons. Part IV is concerned with speculative models and principals for future analysis. The appendixes serve as an aid for cross-referencing equations, definitions, and experimental designs which are described in different chapters.
