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