Study Notes
Neural Network Fundamentals
- Neurons communicate via electrical pulses known as action potentials or spikes, which signify firing.
- Input signals are received through dendrites, integrated, and converted into signals that travel along the axon.
- Axons connect with dendrites of other neurons, creating parallel communication pathways.
- Synapses are the electrical contact points between neurons.
Brain Architecture
- The cerebral cortex has differentiated areas identified by layer thickness and cell types.
- Key areas include:
- Motor Cortex: Areas 4 (motor strip), 6 (premotor), and 8 (frontal eye fields).
- Somatosensory Cortex: Areas 3, 1, and 2.
- Visual Cortex: Areas 17, 18, and 19.
- Auditory Cortex: Areas 41 and 42.
Neural Networks
- Artificial neural networks model human brain functions.
- Neuron count is generally fixed at birth, but connections change over a lifetime.
- Neural networks are mathematical adaptations derived from biological neural systems.
Applications and Research
- Widespread applications of artificial neural networks in problem-solving across various engineering disciplines.
- Significant presence in scientific research and publications related to neural networks.
Journals in Neural Networks Field
- Notable journals include:
- Neural Networks
- Neural Computation
- IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks
- Neurocomputing
- Journal of Computational Neuroscience
Objectives and Capabilities
- Aim to create systems that mimic human-like information processing capabilities.
- Current computers operate on strict algorithms and require programming to function.
- Human brains learn from experience and adapt without explicit programming.
Interdisciplinary Nature
- Neural networks intersect various fields:
- Neurobiology
- Psychology
- Mathematics
- Statistics
- Physics
- Computer Science
- Information Theory
- Electrical Engineering
Formal Neuron Structure
- A formal neuron has inputs, weights, and uses a weighted sum to determine output.
- Neuron fires (outputs +1) when the weighted sum surpasses a defined threshold; otherwise, it outputs -1.
- The basic unit of a neural network is defined by multiple inputs (x1 to xn), weights (w1 to wn), a weighted sum equation, and a threshold function.
Perceptron Concept
- A perceptron is a formal neuron equipped with a learning algorithm.
- Serves as a linear separator, fundamental in the function of neural networks.
