Jack Cowan, educated at Edinburgh University, Imperial College, and MIT, is one of the pioneers of continuous approaches to neural networks and brain modeling. He has made many important contributions to machine learning, neural networks, and computational neuroscience. This chapter presents an edited transcript of an interview conducted on the 6 November 2006. Cowan offers a unique perspective on activity in machine intelligence in the UK and the US in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He recounts how his ideas developed under the influence of some of the great pioneers of cybernetics, and how those ideas flourished throughout his subsequent career.
