Just to clarify, is this the David Marr who is a professor of Vietnamese history at the Australian National University, or some other David Marr?? JackofOz 22:29, 23 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Oh,yes, I see now. Not the same guy, apparently. Thanks. JackofOz 00:55, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Marr is not a psychologist! According to the text he has a BA in mathematics and did his PhD in neuroscience. Later he works on computational neuroscience. How does that make him a psychologist? -- 128.178.191.95 10:11, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't know who is making the claim that he is the founder of computational neuroscience. Marr's work was very influential in both computational neuroscience and psychology, but he did not found the field. Some of the earliest papers on computational models of neural networks came out two years before Marr was born, such as the extremely influential papers by Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts. Not to mention the work by Donald Hebb, which elaborated on computational principles that he thought contributed to how neurons learn. Unless somebody can justify this claim, I'm going to downgrade it from founder to being just a highly influential person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.110.161.166 ( talk) 02:16, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
The text still describes Marr as a psychologist, which he is not (a very, very different science). — Preceding
