Stephen Grossberg is Wang Professor of Cognitive and Neural Systems; Emeritus Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, Psychological and Brain Sciences, and Biomedical Engineering; and the Director of the Center for Adaptive Systems at Boston University. In 1957, Grossberg introduced the paradigm of using nonlinear systems of differential equations to model how brains make our conscious minds, including widely used equations for cell activation; activity-dependent habituation; and learning and memory. Grossberg founded key infrastructure of the field of neural networks, including the International Neural Network Society and the journal Neural Networks. He is a fellow of the AERA, APA, APS, IEEE, INNS, MDRS, and SEP. He has published 18 books or journal special issues, over 570 research articles, and has seven patents. To acknowledge these contributions, Grossberg was most recently awarded the 2015 Norman Anderson Lifetime Achievement Award of the Society of Experimental Psychologists, the 2017 Frank Rosenblatt Award of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, the 2019 Donald O. Hebb Award of the International Neural Network Society, the Lotfi A. Zadeh Pioneer Award of the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society, the 2022 PROSE book award in Neuroscience of the Association of American Publishers for his 2021 magnum opus (Conscious Mind, Resonant Brain: How Each Brain Makes a Mind), and the 2023 Computer Science Leader Award of Research.com.
