Reviews

"...the book is a must for all those interested in the interface between brain and machine, and it effectively whets the appetite for more."
—Science"This is an extraordinary start of an extraordinary project -- the Human Brain Project. It is obvious that without proper information management, accumulation of huge amounts of data in brain sciences would remain a parochial enterprise. The Human Brain Project was intended to 'grab the bull by the horns' and steer informatics research towards inventing, developing, and maintaining databases of neuroscientific information: hence, Neuroinformatics. This volume is a collection of gems, the first harvest of neuroinformatics research harvested through the Human Brain Project. Its diversity, depth, ingenuity, and usefulness are simply breathtaking. If this is an indication of things to come, I can only say that the conception and execution of this project have been an unqualified success. I am already looking forward to the second round, when all of these approaches will hit the neuroscientist's computer screen for an unprecedented journey in brain space!"

—Apostolos P. Georgopoulos
University of Minnesota Medical School"The articles in this book provide excellent reviews of work in this new area, and will provide important guidelines and mileposts for future developments in what will become an increasingly important area of neuroscience."
