Models of The Mind: Nice Meta-analysis

.Models of the Mind: Nice Meta-analysis 

I've been reading about the convergence of neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) for over two decades. Models of the Mind provides a helpful meta-analysis of models of the mind shaped by philosophy, physics, biology, Mathematics, engineering, among other things. it's very approachable for the average lay person.

The author addresses studies inspired by observations of individual nerve cells, as well as analysis of electrical signal outputs from areas that fire in unison like a chorus of screaming demons. She ties it all together by referring to the history of information theory.

Readers can ponder the implications of a clear explanation of Baysean models of how prior knowledge weighs in to decision making calculations. The conversation about the tug and pull of grand unifying theories and practical applications is thought provoking. I enjoyed it.
