Eduardo Renato Caianiello (June 25, 1921 – October 22, 1993) was an Italian

Hebbian learning.[1]

Caianello founded and directed the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the

Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche at Arco Felice (Naples), the Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences of the University of Salerno, the International Institute for Senior Scientific Studies (IIASS) at Vietri sul Mare

The name of the Hafnian was coined by Cainaniello "to mark the fruitful period of stay in Copenhagen (Hafnia in Latin)."[2]
