چکیده
As we tried to point out in our recent article (Anderson, Silverstein, Ritz, & Jones, 1977), the approximations we made there were oversimplifications of the complex reality of the nervous system—made so we could discuss only a few aspects of a very difficult problem. In Anderson et al. (1977), we considered a model that is partially linear. Whatever their theoretical shortcomings, linear systems approximate some aspects of neuron behavior surprisingly well. Clearly, many aspects of nervous system operation cannot be explained with linear models. We made the suggestion that a linear model, combined with a simple nonlinearity, gives rise to an interesting, relatively understandable nonlinear model with some intriguing applications to psychology. Grossberg (1978) obviously disagrees with some of our approximations. Below we make some comments that may clarify the biological basis of our model, and we also make a few remarks about the model itself.

Robust stability of fuzzy Markov type Cohen-Grossberg neural networks by delay decomposition approach
In this paper, we investigate the delay-dependent robust stability of fuzzy Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with Markovian jumping parameter and mixed time varying delays by delay decomposition method. A new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) is constructed by nonuniformly dividing discrete delay interval into multiple subinterval, and choosing proper functionals with different weighting matr...

Bring ART into the ACT
ACT is compared with a particular type of connectionist model that cannot handle symbols and use non-biological operations that cannot learn in real time. This focus continues an unfortunate trend of straw man "debates" in cognitive science. Adaptive Resonance Theory, or ART, neural models of cognition can handle both symbols and sub-symbolic representations, and meets the Newell criteria at le...
