Warren McCulloch and the British Cyberneticians

Abstract

The relationships and interactions between Warren McCulloch and a number of British cyberneticians are traced. He interacted regularly with most of the main figures on the British cybernetics scene, forming close friendships and collaborations with several, as well as mentoring others. Many of these interactions stemmed from a 1949 visit to London, during which he gave the opening talk at the inaugural meeting of the Ratio Club, a gathering of brilliant, mainly young, British scientists working in areas related to cybernetics.
