论文A LOGICAL CALCULUS OF THE IDEAS IMMANENT IN NERVOUS ACTIVITY的学习

Abstract:

Because of the “all-or-none” character of nervous activity, neural events and the relations among them can be treated by means of propositional logic. It is found that the behavior of every net can be described in these terms, with the addition of more complicated logical means for nets containing circles; and that for any logical expression satisfying certain conditions, one can find a net behaving in the fashion it describes. It is shown that many particular choices among possible neurophysiological assumptions are equivalent, in the sense that for every net behaving under one assumption, there exists another net which behaves under the other and gives the same results, although perhaps not in the same time. Various applications of the calculus are discussed.

由于神经活动的“全有或全无”特征，神经事件及其之间的关系可以通过命题逻辑加以处理。 发现可以用这些术语描述每个网络的行为，并为包含圆的网络增加了更为复杂的逻辑手段。 对于满足某些条件的任何逻辑表达式，可以发现其描述方式的行为。 结果表明，在可能的神经生理学假设中，许多特定选择是等效的，在某种意义上，对于每个在一个假设下运行的网，都存在另一个在另一个假设下运行并给出相同结果的网络，尽管可能不是在同一时间。 讨论了微积分的各种应用。
