Neural Cell Behavior and Fuzzy Logic: The Being of Neural Cells and Mathematics of Feeling

Several theories consider the brain to be a network of neurons that process perception with simple activation functions. Real neurons, however, are far more intricate. Through reviews of literature and results from original experiments, Neural Cell Behavior and Fuzzy Logic offers a comprehensive look at these complex systems, supplying trustworthy evidence that neurons can predict the consequences of input signals and transiently change their own excitability to suit. The book also examines how fuzzy logic, the computing of perceptions, can be used to provide a theoretical description of real neuron behavior, and as a model for the logic the brain uses to describe environments and make decisions. This book includes sections for general and advanced readers, and will be particularly useful to neuroscience students, academics, and researchers as well as to mathematicians and theoretical physicists.
