Information theory, communication theory, detection theory are terms now commonly used by engineers who are concerned with radio or telephone communications, electromagnetic and sonic measurements, seismic measurements, and indeed the transformation, storage and transmittal of data from any source by electronic or mechanical devices. They are terms also used by scientists concerned with the function of the human brain and nervous system, the behavior of small groups of people, the interplay…

Norbert Wiener and the growth of negative feedback in scientific explanation : with a proposed research program of "cybernetic analysis"
- Psychology
- 1981
Negative feedback has become ubiquitous in science both as a
technique and as a conceptual tool. As a technique, negative feedback
has a long history; devices based in its use were made in
antiquity.…
Signal Processing by Model Neural Networks
- Computer ScienceSIAM Rev.
- 1992
Several VCON networks motivated by observations by physiologists are presented, which make accessible the study of phase locking, an important physical phenomenon that makes possible stable frequency-encoded information processing even in the presence of noise.
