Acknowledgments
The creation of the NeuroAI Handbook would not have been possible without the contributions and support of many individuals and organizations. I wish to express my deepest gratitude to all who have helped make this project a reality.
The creation of the NeuroAI Handbook would not have been possible without the contributions and support of many individuals and organizations. I wish to express my deepest gratitude to all who have helped make this project a reality.
I thank the countless researchers, authors, and contributors whose work forms the foundation of this handbook. The commitment to bridging neuroscience and artificial intelligence across the global research community has made this interdisciplinary field possible.
I also acknowledge the research institutions, laboratories, and funding agencies whose support has enabled the advancement of NeuroAI. Your investment in interdisciplinary research has been crucial to the progress documented in these pages.
A special thank you goes to all the educators who spent countless hours patiently guiding me and embedding knowledge into my sometimes stubborn mind. Your dedication has profoundly shaped my understanding and passion for science. The best teachers don’t just transfer knowledge; they ignite curiosity and teach us how to think.
Most importantly, my heartfelt appreciation goes to my wife, Alice. Her unwavering support, patience, and encouragement have been my strength, especially during moments when my eccentricities might have made life challenging. She has always been there, holding my hand and helping me keep going.
Alice, none of this would have been possible without you.
Finally, I extend my appreciation to you, the readers and students who inspire the creation of educational resources like this. Your curiosity and dedication to learning drive discovery at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence.
Thank you for embarking on this journey where neurons meet algorithms.
