Introduction to Neural Networks.

There is a great desire for engineers and scientists to model the processing functions of the nervous system. There are some who feel that these models should be directly related to the actual system, so they study the neuron, the primary element of the nervous system. These people model their neural networks after studies performed on the nervous system. Others feel that these networks should be black box models. Neural networks allow for parallel processing of information that can greatly reduce the time required to perform operations which are needed in pattern recognition.
