Neural Networks for the non-technical
Dr. Stanley C. Mortel	

Heard about neural networks?   Not sure what they are or how they work?  Or why?  This presentation will provide a thoroughly non-technical (no math) introduction to this fascinating topic.  A very basic type of neural network will be presented and the functional aspects will be related back to human perception and cognition.  Along the way, we look at visual perception, including some illusions, and the underlying neural architecture. The goal is to provide a basic, conceptual understanding of neural networks, then to relate the principles of an abstract neural network to the human nervous system.
