  Artificial neural network - Psychology Wiki - a Wikia wiki
A neural network is an interconnected group of nodes, akin to the vast network of neurons in the human brain.
These networks are also similar to the biological neural networks in the sense that functions are performed collectively and in parallel by the units, rather than there being a clear delineation of subtasks to which various units are assigned (see also connectionism).
Neural network software is used to simulate, research, develop and apply artificial neural networks, biological neural networks and in some cases a wider array of adaptive systems.

 What is an artificial neural network?
An artificial neural network (ANN) is a computer simulation of a "brainlike" system of interconnected processing units.
The behaviour of a single processing unit in an ANN can be characterized as follows: First, the unit computes the total signal being sent to it by other processors in the network.
The pattern of connectivity in an ANN (i.e., the strengths of the connections between various processing units) defines the causal relations between the network's processors, and is therefore analogous to a program in a conventional computer (e.g., Smolensky, 1988).

 NeuroSolutions: What is a Neural Network?
The true power and advantage of neural networks lies in their ability to represent both linear and non-linear relationships and in their ability to learn these relationships directly from the data being modeled.
This error is then fed back (backpropagated) to the neural network and used to adjust the weights such that the error decreases with each iteration and the neural model gets closer and closer to producing the desired output.
The binary data is then fed into a neural network that has been trained to make the association between the character image data and a numeric value that corresponds to the character.

 generation5 - An Introduction to Neural Networks
This area of neural networking is the "fuzziest" in terms of a definite set of rules to abide by.
Neural networks are designed to work with patterns - they can be classified as pattern classifiers or pattern associators.
Other problems with neural networks are the lack of defining rules to help construct a network given a problem - there are many factors to take into consideration: the learning algorithm, architecture, number of neurons per layer, number of layers, data representation and much more.

Neural networks are used both as software tools for completing otherwise difficult tasks, and in cognitive science for simulating cognitive processes.
In neuropsychology, neural networks are often created to simulate a certain cognitive task, and then the network is 'damaged' to see whether the network can predict the effects of brain injury or impairment.

 Artificial Neural Networks
In order to have a good understanding of how an artificial neural network could create a machine that is capable of learning, it is important to first understand how organic neural networks function.  The importance of understanding organic intelligence stems from the fact that non-organic brains use organic minds as a blueprint.
Artificial neural networks get their power from the fact that billions of such artificial neurons are combined into miniature networks.  Such complex networks of simple components could give future computers the ability to think and reason on their own.
· Supervised- This teaching method gives the neural network both the inputs and outputs for a desired problem.  It is then the network’s responsibility to process the inputs and compare the results to the given outputs.  Any errors that occur in the processing of the inputs are refined until the correct outputs are achieved.

However, bear in mind that neural network-type algorithms are based on a specific nature-inspired architecture, whereas other learning algorithms such as genetic algorithms are based on other architectures that cannot strictly be called neural networks.
Neural Networks are one of the more popular and established types of artificial learning, but the last 20 years has seen an explosion of other types of learning algorithms, many inspired by nature.
Generally speaking, a network is trained with a dataset and then the mature network is queried with other datasets.

 IEI's Patented Self-Training Artificial Neural Network Objects (STANNO)
In effect, it was a neural network (neurons, and connections, sans the traditional training algorithm) that could spontaneously absorb knowledge.
Details - When a neural network expert talks about training a net, what he or she means is that a very cleverly contrived computer algorithm is being used to 'mathematically punish and reward' the connection weights within that neural net, forcing it to accurately absorb memories and complex relationships inherent within its training patterns.
Rather than being simple neural cascades composed of interwoven neural network modules that are pre-trained and static, these SuperNets, as they are called, are composed of individual neural network modules that are training in situ, in real time.

 Neural Networks ( Neural Network Applications, Artificial Neural Networks, NN, ANN, and Neural Nets) Definition
A neural network usually involves a large number of processors operating in parallel, each with its own small sphere of knowledge and access to data in its local memory.
A program can then tell the network how to behave in response to an external stimulus (for example, to input from a computer user who is interacting with the network) or can initiate activity on its own (within the limits of its access to the external world).
Neural networks are sometimes described in terms of knowledge layers, with, in …
