Aiming to bridge the gap between computer engineering and the life sciences, this book offers a straightforward treatment of parallel computing, emphasizing functions, systems and applications. Presenting unified coverage of material that is scattered throughout other works or previously unpublished, it also covers modern trends in computing and control, including ongoing efforts to push beyond the current fifth generation towards more brain-like computers. It addresses current research in psychology and linguistics, examining the state-of-knowledge of perception, learning and cognition. Different models of the brain are also examined. New computing systems currently under development such as cognitrons, goal-directed systems and pseudo-associative memories are described. An overview is presented of the biological signals and their computer processing, with selected models of biological information processing systems. Details are given of a concrete example of a biological language that has been successfully decoded. Concrete chart flows and programs in BASIC are included.
