It examines Walter Pitts' contribution to two of McCulloch's most celebrated publications, `A Logical Calculus of the Ideas Immanent in Nervous Activity' and `How we Know Universals: the Perception of Auditory and Visual Forms'. What we find, in part, is that Pitts provided mathematical clarity and rigor to McCulloch's views on psychons and circular causality.", pages = "206-217", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/maney/isr/2012/00000037/00000003/art00003", doi = "doi:10.1179/0308018812Z.00000000017", keyword = "circular causality, cybernetics, Warren McCulloch, Walter Pitts, logical calculus, auditory perception, visual perception" }
