July 22, 1904 – August 20, 1985

海布（1904—1985），加拿大心理学家，提出细胞联合理论来解释知觉及在大量脑组织损伤条件下仍能保持一定智力水平的现象。他强调早期经验对智力发展的重要性，以及正常环境刺激是保持心理健康的重要因素。1960年当选为美国心理学会主席，1961年获美国心理学会颁发的杰出科学贡献奖，1979年当选为国家科学院院士。
　　
Hebb began his adult life intending to be a novelist, and decided that his calling required an understanding of psychology. He received his BA from Dalhousie University, NS in 1925, his MA in psychology from McGill (Montreal, Quebec) and his PhD from Harvard (Boston, MA) in 1936. Hebb spent two decades working with researchers like Penfield and Lashley, culminating in 1949 with the publication of The Organization of Behaviors, a keystone of modern neuroscience. In it, Hebb proposed neural structures, called cell assemblies, which were formed through the action of feedback loops or what is now called the Hebb synapse. The cell-assembly theory guided Hebb's landmark experiments on the influence of early environment on adult intelligence and foreshadowed neural network theory, an active line of research in artificial intelligence.
