Description for Neural Networks and Animal Behavior
Paperback. How can we make better sense of animal behavior by using what we know about the brain? This book attempts to answer this question by applying neural network theory. It shows how scientists can employ ANNs to analyze animal behavior, explores the general principles of the nervous systems, and tests potential generalizations among species. Series: Monographs in Behavior and Ecology. Num Pages: 256 pages, 12 halftones. 102 line illus. 6 tables. BIC Classification: RG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 233 x 155 x 16. Weight in Grams: 390.
How can we make better sense of animal behavior by using what we know about the brain? This is the first book that attempts to answer this important question by applying neural network theory. Scientists create Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to make models of the brain. These networks mimic the architecture of a nervous system by connecting elementary neuron-like units into networks in which they stimulate or inhibit each other's activity in much the same way neurons do. This book shows how scientists can employ ANNs to analyze animal behavior, explore the general principles of the nervous systems, and test ... Read more

Reviews for Neural Networks and Animal Behavior
"Neural Networks and Animal Behavior will interest students of animal behavior, cognitive scientists, engineers, and anyone working with neural networks. In a real way, this book is a bridge across the disciplines, constructing connections between animal behavior theories to other modes of understanding."
