If so-called machine learning comprises a statistical approach to pattern extraction, then neural networks can be defined as a biologically inspired model that relies on probabilistically weighted neuron-like units to identify such patterns. Far from signaling the ultimate convergence of human and machine intelligence, however, neural networks highlight the technologization of neurophysiology that characterizes virtually all strands of neuroscientific and AI research of the past century. Taking this traffic as its starting point, this volume explores how cognition came to be constructed as essentially computational in nature, to the point of underwriting a technologized view of human biology, psychology, and sociability, and how countermovements provide resources for thinking otherwise.</p> 20 00 Open Access meson press 01 meson press Lüneburg 04 01 20240409 09 meson press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://meson.press/books/neural-networks 99 01 09 meson press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://meson.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/978-3-95796-083-2-Neural-Networks.pdf 99 01
