Abstract	:	This dissertation reconsiders the nature of scientific models through an historical study ofthe development of electronic models of the brain by Cybernetics researchers in the 1940s. Byexamining how these unique models were used in the brain sciences, it develops the concept of a"working model" for the brain sciences. Working models differ from theoretical models in thatthey are subject to manipulation and interactive experimentation, i.e., they are themselves objectsof study and part of material culture. While these electronic brains are often disparaged byhistorians as toys and publicity stunts, I argue that they mediated between physiological theoriesof neurons and psychological theories of behavior so as to leverage their compelling materialperformances against the lack of observational data and sparse theoretical connections betweenneurology and psychology. I fbrther argue that working models might be used by cognitivescience to better understand how the brain develops performative representations of the world....,..tested for theQ1 PC1 bus cardBoth these projects mere sofixare des elopment efforts tonards contributing to dlfferentaspects of Roboucs and lZ1echatronics projects m the Controls and Roboucs Group..
