Some books

• A book containing work from several of these PhDs is Hebbian Learning and Negative Feedback Networks
• A second book on Computational Intelligence in Computer Games also uses some of our research. For a table of contents click here
• A book has been written based on the PhD theses of Drs Barbakh and Wu.
