What the meainig of Neural Networks?
A neural network is an interconnected group of biological neurons. In modern usage the term can also refer to artificial neural networks, which are constituted of artificial neurons. Thus the term ‘Neural Network’ specifies two distinct concepts: 1. A biological neural network is a plexus of connected or functionally related neurons in the peripheral nervous system or the central nervous system. In the field of neuroscience, it most often refers to a group of neurons from a nervous system that are suited for laboratory analysis. 2. Artificial neural networks were designed to model some properties of biological neural networks, though most of the applications are of technical nature as opposed to cognitive models. Please see the corresponding articles for details on artificial neural networks or biological neural networks. This article focuses on the relationship between the two concepts. Neural networks are made of units that are often assumed to be simple in the sense that their state
