Research and Markets: Human Memory Modeled with Standard Analog and Digital Circuits: Inspiration for Man-Made Computers

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c2ee68/human_memory_model) has
announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Human Memory
Modeled with Standard Analog and Digital Circuits: Inspiration for Man-made
Computers" to their offering.

Gain a new perspective on how the brain works and inspires new avenues for
design in computer science and engineering

This unique book is the first of its kind to introduce human memory and basic
cognition in terms of physical circuits, beginning with the possibilities of
ferroelectric behavior of neural membranes, moving to the logical properties of
neural pulses recognized as solitons, and finally exploring the architecture of
cognition itself. It encourages invention via the methodical study of brain
theory, including electrically reversible neurons, neural networks, associative
memory systems within the brain, neural state machines within associative
memory, and reversible computers in general. These models use standard analog
and digital circuits that, in contrast to models that include non-physical
components, may be applied directly toward the goal of constructing a machine
with artificial intelligence based on patterns of the brain.

Writing from the circuits and systems perspective, the author reaches across
specialized disciplines including neuroscience, psychology, and physics to
achieve uncommon coverage of:

* Neural membranes
* Neural pulses and neural memory
* Circuits and systems for memorizing and recalling
* Dendritic processing and human learning
* Artificial learning in artificial neural networks
* The asset of reversibility in man and machine
* Electrically reversible nanoprocessors
* Reversible arithmetic
* Hamiltonian circuit finders
* Quantum versus classical

Each chapter introduces and develops new material and ends with exercises for
readers to put their skills into practice. Appendices are provided for
non-experts who want a quick overview of brain anatomy, brain psychology, and
brain scanning. The nature of this book, with its summaries of major bodies of
knowledge, makes it a most valuable reference for professionals, researchers,
and students with career goals in artificial intelligence, intelligent systems,
neural networks, computer architecture, and neuroscience.

Author:

John Robert Burger taught at the University of the Pacific in Stockton,
California; California State University, Northridge; and the Oregon Institute of
Technology, where he developed a course in artificial neural networks. Dr.
Burger and his students have designed and fabricated many CMOS integrated
circuits over the years. He is interested in the propagation of electrical
wavefronts in conductors, neural and otherwise, an interest he has enjoyed since
his boyhood telegraph inventions.
