Welcome to the Web Page of L. Andrew Coward
I am a Research Fellow at the School of Information Technology in the Division of Business, Information Technology and Law at Murdoch University. As can be seen from my cv, I have had wide experience in the design of functionally complex electronic systems.
My research objective is to understand the cognitive behaviour of the human brain in terms of neurophysiology, and to build electronic systems with similar behaviour.
Major research directions include understanding the architectural constraints imposed by functional complexity, understanding psychological and physiological phenomena, and construction of electronic systems with behaviour similar to mammal brains.
My published work includes papers, book chapters and a book. Late drafts of published papers can be downloaded here. A copy of a workshop providing an introduction and overview of my work which was given at the International Conference on Neural Information Processing and Intelligent Information Systems: ICONIP'99 Perth 16-20 November 1999 is available.
An simple electronic demonstration version of a system with the recommendation architecture can be downloaded here. Some future research directions for the electronic system can be found here.
