William F. McCulloch

William F. McCulloch was a pioneering American neuroscientist and computer scientist known for his work on the brain and artificial intelligence. He contributed to understanding how neurons in the brain work together, forming the basis of neural network models used in machine learning today. McCulloch also collaborated with mathematician Walter Pitts to develop early theories of how neural circuits could perform logical operations, helping bridge neuroscience and computer science. His work laid important groundwork for artificial intelligence, providing insights into how complex cognitive processes might be simulated in machines.
