Neural Computation disseminates important, multidisciplinary research results in a field that attracts psychologists, physicists, computer scientists, neuroscientists, and artificial intelligence investigators, among others. For researchers looking at the scientific and engineering challenges of understanding the brain and building computers, neural computation highlights common problems and techniques in modeling the brain, and in the design and construction of neurally-inspired information processing systems. Timely, short communications, full-length research articles, and reviews focus on advances in the field and also cover the broad range of inquisition into all aspects of neural computation.
