Intelligence Science

Intelligence science is an emerging program of scientific research on the theory and technology of intelligence, bringing together disciplines such as neuroscience, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence to study the nature of intelligence, the functional simulation of intelligent behaviour, and the development of new intelligent technologies. Intelligence Science presents this complex, interdisciplinary area of study in an accessible volume, introducing foundational concepts and methods, and presenting the latest trends and developments. The volume is positioned to stimulate innovation and development for a new generation of artificial intelligence. Fourteen chapters give an in-depth overview of this emerging area including: an Introduction; Foundations of neurophysiology; Neural computing; Mind models; Perceptual intelligence; Language cognition; Learning; Memory; Thought; Intellectual development and cognitive structure; Emotion and affect; Consciousness; Brain machine integration, and; Brain-like intelligence. This volume synthesises a very rich and complex area of research, and aims to stimulate new lines of enquiry.
