Computational Cognitive Neuroscience, 5th Edition
Randall C. O’Reilly, Yuko Munakata, Michael J. Frank, Thomas E. Hazy, and Contributors
This is the 5th edition of the online, freely available textbook, providing a complete, self-contained introduction to the field of Computational Cognitive Neuroscience, where computer models of the brain are used to understand a wide range of cognitive functions, including perception, attention, learning, memory, motor control, executive function, and language.
The first part of this textbook develops a coherent set of computational and neural principles that capture the behavior of networks of interconnected neurons, and the second part applies these principles to understand the cognitive functions listed above.
See sims for associated simulation models for this book.
