    The principles of cognition are becoming increasingly important in the areas of signal processing, communications and control. In this groundbreaking book, Simon Haykin, a pioneer in the field and an award-winning researcher, educator and author, sets out the fundamental ideas of cognitive dynamic systems. Weaving together the various branches of study involved, he demonstrates the power of cognitive information processing and highlights a range of future research directions. The book begins with a discussion of core topics such as cognition and sensing, dealing, in particular, with the perception-action cycle. Bayesian filtering, machine learning and dynamic programming are then addressed. Building on these foundations, there is detailed coverage of two important practical applications, cognitive radar and cognitive radio. Blending theory and practice, this insightful book is aimed at all graduate students and researchers looking for a thorough grounding in this fascinating field.

    • A groundbreaking book on cognitive dynamic systems, a subject that is becoming increasingly important in the areas of signal processing, communications and control
    • Covers the fundamental ideas, demonstrates the power of cognitive information processing and highlights a range of future research directions
    • Enriched by the well-loved writing style that is the hallmark of Simon Haykin, a pioneer in the field and an award-winning researcher, educator and author

    Reviews & endorsements

    "The author has led the Cognitive System Laboratory at McMaster University for many years, contributing fundamental papers to cognitive dynamic systems theory. It is therefore fortunate that this book has been written, the first one on this integrative new field. This very clear and highly pedagogical book will be greatly appreciated by many applied researchers."
    -M. Iosifescu, Mathematical Reviews
