This book provides a comprehensive introduction to neural and concurrent processing. All the fundamentals are reviewed, making the treatment relatively self-contained. The exposition is straightforward, with emphasis on functions, systems, and applications. The book covers neural networks of varying granularity, systems realizing 40,000 mips, and a wide range of real-life applications. It also describes intelligent real-time systems applications in intelligent instruments, data acquisition, signal and speech processing, computer vision and graphics, process control and manufacturing inspection, robots, decision-making systems, on-line simulators, and flexible manufacturing cells. The text will benefit electrical, mechanical, and computer engineers, neurobiologists, and graduate and advanced undergraduate students.
