Artificial Neural Networks

An investigation into artificial neural networks (ANNS) that looks at:
• what a neuron is and how the brain uses neurons to learn and to process information
• how artificial neurons work and how they can mimic natural neurons
• building a simple brain from neurons
• how to train an artificial neural network
• calculations involved with artificial neurons
• programming and training an ANN simulator, then using it to determine new output
• the role and applications of ANNs.
This unit contains 6 classroom-tested activities to reinforce concepts, including the use of an ANN simulator.
