Norbert Wiener firing of anti-aircraft guns caused Wiener to investigate information theory independently of Claude Shannon and to invent the Wiener filter. (To him is due the now standard practice of modeling an information source as a random process—in other words, as a variety of noise.) His anti-aircraft work eventually led him to formulate cybernetics. After the war, his fame helped MIT to recruit a research team in cognitive science, composed of researchers in neuropsychology and the mathematics and biophysics of the nervous system, including Warren Sturgis McCulloch and Walter Pitts. These men later made pioneering contributions to computer science and artificial
Wiener series by Norbert Wiener used in signal processing. Given a system with an input/output pair formula_1 where the input is white noise with zero mean value and power A, we can write the output of the system as sum of a series of Wiener G-functionals formula_2 In the following the expressions of the G-functionals up to the fifth order will be given: formula_3 formula_4 formula_5 formula_6 formula_7 formula_8 formula_9 formula_10 formula_11 Wiener series In mathematics, the Wiener series (or "Wiener G-functional expansion") originates from the 1958 book of Norbert Wiener. It is an orthogonal expansion for nonlinear functionals closely related to
