I have uploaded a pdf of the article The Electronic
Brain by W.R. Ashby,
M.A., M.D. from the March 1949 issue of Radio Electronics to my web site,
along with other updates. Ashby describes the Homeostat and it's
potential for building an artificial intelligence computer.
For those who would enjoy reading some of the other work of W. Ross
Ashby (a little-mentioned, but highly influential to early computing
psychiatrist), there's a PDF of his 1956 text "An Introduction to
Cybernetics" online:
