has argued that this interpretation of network activity provides a quantitative, neurally-inspired basis for prototype theories of concepts developed recently in cognitive psychology. Using this theoretical development, Paul Churchland (1987, 1989) has offe...

detect buried structures, such as missile silos or underground construction, as a result of the heat they generate. Since thermal infrared imagery does not require visible light, it can be obtained under conditions of darkness--if the sky is free of cloud co...

KH-7 imagery allowed U.S. photointerpreters, using the U.S. reactor at Hanford, Washington, for comparison, to estimate the reactor's productive capacity. Oblique images of nuclear facilities, particularly Chinese facilities, were often taken to provide data...

people thinking with mental images, and the performance of people solving problems using analogies. Our conclusions about how the mind works must be based on more than “common sense” and introspection, since these can give a misleading picture ...

also, for the most part, do not make a sharp distinction in kind between mental images and percepts, and are virtually unanimous in holding (as, indeed, did Hume) that both are varieties of a single species. In any case, it is abundantly clear that, in many even if not a...

Neural networks are also particularly well adapted for problems that require the resolution of many conflicting constraints in parallel. There is ample evidence from research in artificial intelligence that cognitive tasks such as object recognition, plannin...
Glossary
When these points are displayed in two dimensions, they appear as a point cloud with no easily discernible features. To make visual sense of these data, researchers use software that triangulates them (connects the points) and then adds a virtual surface to the triangulat...
