by Ben Best This essay was originally part of the series "The Anatomical Basis of Mind", available on this website as The Anatomical Basis of Mind (Neurophysiology & Consciousness). The purpose of that series was to learn & explain what is known about how neurophysiology results in the phenomena of mind&self. Further, to understand which brain/neuronal structures must be preserved to preserve mind&self. And still further, to be able to use that knowledge to suggest & evaluate cryonics and other preservation methods. This installment addresses the subject of computer-models of neural networks and the relevance of those models to the functioning brain. http://www.benbest.com/computer/nn.html#competitive

OVERVIEW OF NEURAL NETWORKS

Neural Networks

Many concepts related to the neural networks methodology are best explained if they are illustrated with applications of a specific neural network program. http://www.statsoft.com/textbook/neural-networks/#artificial
