Evolution of Computational Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence

The chapter explores the historical evolution of computational neuroscience and artificial intelligence, detailing the transition period when computational neuroscience emerged as a distinct field. It discusses the interdisciplinary nature of computational neuroscience and contrasts its focus on biological neural networks with the aim of creating efficient intelligent systems in AI. The narrative includes key moments like the Dartmouth summer meeting in 1956 and the introduction of the perceptron by Frank Rosenblatt.
