William C. McCulloch

William C. McCulloch was a prominent American neurophysiologist and cybernetician known for his work on the interconnectedness of the brain and the development of early neural network models. He contributed to understanding how the brain processes information and laid foundations for artificial intelligence and computer science. McCulloch collaborated with figures like Warren McCulloch and Norbert Wiener, influencing the study of systems thinking. His research helped bridge biology and computing, providing insights into how complex thought and cognition emerge from networks of interconnected neurons.
