v An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models the relationship between a set of input signals and an output signal
using a model derived from our understanding of how a biological brain responds to stimuli from sensory inputs.
v Just as a brain uses a network of interconnected cells called neurons to create a massive parallel processor, ANN uses
a network of artificial neurons or nodes to solve learning problems.
v Biological motivation
v In the cell, the incoming signals are received by the cell’s dendrites through a biochemical process.
v The process allows the impulse to be weighted according to its relative importance or frequency.
v As the cell body begins accumulating the incoming signals, a threshold is reached at which the cell fires and the
output signal is transmitted via an electrochemical process down the axon.
v At the axon’s terminals, the electric signal is again processed as a chemical signal to be passed to the neighboring
neurons across a tiny gap known as a synapse.
v The MP neuron is mankind’s first simplified mathematical model of the neuron.
v This model was developed by McCulloch and Pitts in 1943.
v The MP neuron model is also known as the linear threshold gate model.
v They are widely used in proving logic functions.
