Such networks—initially developed as models of ourselves—have become the engines of artificial neural intelligence. Suri and McClelland aren't reducing mankind to mere machines. Rather, they are showing how a data-driven neural network can create thoughts, emotions, and ideas—a mind—whether in humans or computers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Emergent Mind\u003c\/em\u003e provides a fascinating account of how we reach decisions, why we change our minds, and how we are affected by context and experience.
