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.

The IDEAL 2010 conference will take place from 1st to 3rd September 2010.
