Abstract: How does intelligence emerge? What kinds of dynamical behaviors are intertwined with intelligence and how do we control them? Concerning with these two issues, relevant studies on intelligent control are briefly surveyed from an integrated viewpoint of complex network and dynamic systems. Presented first are fundamental concepts and challenging questions that arise from the interdisciplinary research areas of complex networks, dynamical systems, neuroscience, and intelligent control. An overview of research progress on intelligent control is further presented, emphasizing pinning control, hybrid control, adaptive control, and the controllability of complex networks. Moreover, potential applications of complex network dynamics and intelligent control in the fields of brain science and machine behavior are briefly discussed, with an outlook at possible research directions.

Key words: complex network, dynamical system, neuroscience, intelligent control
