The Book of GENESIS: Exploring Realistic Neural Models with the GEneral NEural SImulations System

The Book of GENESIS - Exploring Realistic Neural Models withthe GEneral NEural SImulation System is the first publication to thoroughly and accurately describe how to use the "GENESIS" simulation/modeling software system available through the Internet file-server at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA., Department of Computation and Neural Systems.
The first part of the book consists of edited contributions from an international team of neural networks researchers working with "GENESIS" which show the reader/user the kind of models/simulations which can be created by using the software. The second part is a step-by-step tutorial for all professionals, researchers and students working in the area of neural networks and the cognitive sciences. The material has been extensively class tested at Cal Tech and Woods Hole Oceanographic Labs, Massachusetts and shows the student/user how to effectively manipulate the software and use the material to one's best advantage.
