The articles gathered in this volume represent examples of a unique approach to the study of mental phenomena: a blend of theory and experiment, informed not just by easily measurable laboratory data but also by human introspection. Subjects such as approach and avoidance, desire and fear, and novelty and habit are studied as natural events that may not exactly correspond to, but at least correlate with, some (known or unknown) electrical and chemical events in the brain.
"...very thought provoking....oriented toward cognitive psychologists, but those with a broad view of neural networks and AI will find it stimulating."
—AI Expert
"...an interesting and timely book, and I do recommend it. There is a real need to incorporate into network models the actions of neurochemicals in order to form realistic neural network models of emotion and higher level cognitive functioning. This book is one of the first to attempt this synthesis."
—Contemporary Psychology
