In bringing together seminal articles on the foundations of research, the first volume of "Neurocomputing has become an established guide to the background of concepts employed in this burgeoning field. "Neurocomputing 2 collects thirty-nine articles covering network architecture, neurobiological computation, statistics and pattern classification, and problems and applications, that suggest important directions for the evolution of neurocomputing. Many of the most valuable practical ideas for neurocomputing in the 1990s may well come from work in neurobiology and computational neuroscience. The articles in this section discuss central issues in neuroscience as well as information-processing strategies for handling computation in the mammalian nervous system. Although neural networks are useful models to explain many aspects of the function of brain and mind, they have intrinsic difficulties. These are underscored in articles by Minsky and Papert, who conclude that much current work has not answered the twenty-year-old criticisms in "Perceptrons, and by Fodor and Pylyshyn, who argue that there are aspects of human cognition that cannot be explained by simple associations. The book-concludes with interesting, diverse applications of neural networks - in digit recognition, speech recognition, object motion, arithmetic teaming, and in formal techniques for predicting the behavior of the stock market, and for predicting secondary protein structure.
