A good intro book is From Neuron To Brain by Kuffler, Nicholls and Martin.
It goes into a lot of backround without much math.  Other books are written
by Dr. R. MacGregor (I don't remember the titles) from the Univ. of Colo.
I attended CU and took classes from him and others  in the field on this 
subject so let me know if you have any further questions.
