Warren S. McCulloch and Walter Pitts publish "A Logical Calculus of the Ideas Immanent in Nervous Activity" in the Bulletin of Mathematical Biophysics.1 It is one of the seminal works in the history of both neuroscience and AI. The paper lays the foundation for the idea that the brain can be understood as a computational system and it introduces the concept of artificial neural networks, now a key technology in modern AI. This idea inspires computer systems that simulate brain-like functions and processes, particularly through neural networks and deep learning.
