Walter Pitts (right) with Jerome Lettvin, co-author of the cognitive science paper "What the Frog's Eye Tells the Frog's Brain" (1959) Walter Harry Pitts, Jr. (23 April 1923 – 14 May 1969) was an American logician who worked in the field of computational neuroscience.
Walter Pitts foi um lógico e cientista cognitivo estadunidense. Ganhou fama por ter feito, junto com Warren McCulloch, uma analogia entre as células nervosas e o processo eletrônico num artigo publicado no Bulletin of Mathematical Biophysics com o título: A Logical Calculus of the Ideas Immanent in Nervous Activity .
A classic paper on how neurons can represent and process logical propositions about the outside world. The paper introduced the concept of neural networks and inspired many theoretical investigations in brain theory.
