Eugene M. Izhikevich

Izhikevich writes a solid book about the mathematical stability of different neuron signalling patterns based on input. The book was a very clear read for me, helping me understand a fundamental character of the model for a firing neuron in the fashion of Hodgkin and Huxley's squid axon.
This is a technical text, but also a philosophical one in some aspects in that it opens the door to a new mathematical model approach to understanding the brain from a very broad perspective. The text does not adequately acknowledge its limitations regarding techniques. Ultimately dynamical systems analysis is more an educational approach than an engineering one, but valuable nevertheless.… (mehr)
