Shannon’s information theory defines absolute limits on neural efficiency; limits which determine the neuroanatomical microstructure of the eye and brain. Written in an informal style this is an ideal introduction…
Artificial intelligence (AI) has now mastered tasks which could, until recently, be performed only by humans. These tasks include cancer diagnosis, drug design, object recognition, speech recognition, chess, backgammon and…
This brief book offers a visually intuitive and rigorous account of Fourier methods. Supported by a comprehensive Glossary and an annotated list of Further Readings, this represents an ideal introduction…
In this richly illustrated book, Bayes’ rule is derived using graphical representations of probability, and Bayesian analysis is applied to parameter estimation. Online code (in MatLab, Python and R) reproduces…
In this richly illustrated book, it is shown how Shannon’s mathematical theory of information defines absolute limits on neural efficiency; limits which ultimately determine the neuroanatomical microstructure of the eye…
This short and richly illustrated book introduces the essential mathematics required to understand information theory. Written in an informal style, with a comprehensive glossary, this concise text is an ideal…
The Fourier transform is a fundamental tool in the physical sciences, with applications in communications theory, electronics, engineering, biophysics and quantum mechanics. In this brief book, the mathematics of Fourier…
Originally developed by Claude Shannon in the 1940s, the theory of information laid the foundations for the digital revolution. Written in a tutorial style, with a comprehensive glossary, this text…
In this accessible and engaging introduction to modern vision science, James Stone uses visual illusions to explore how the brain sees the world. The tutorial style emphasizes key conceptual insights…
Written in a tutorial style, with a comprehensive glossary, this text represents an ideal primer for novices who wish to become familiar with the basic principles of information theory.
This short and richly illustrated book introduces the essential mathematics required to understand information theory.

Originally developed by Claude Shannon in the 1940s, information theory laid the foundations for the digital revolution, and is now an essential tool in telecommunications, genetics, linguistics, brain sciences, and…
In this richly illustrated book, a range of accessible examples is used to show how Bayes’ rule is actually a natural consequence of common sense reasoning. Bayes’ rule is then…
Discovered by an 18th century mathematician and preacher, Bayes’ rule is a cornerstone of modern probability theory. In this richly illustrated book, a range of accessible examples is used to…
