Artificial neural networks simulate biological processes in an intriguing manner. Ideas gleaned from the study of neurophysiology and animal behavior have become realizable in recent years. The advent of computers capability of rapidly executing massively parallel and distributed processes has allowed ideas from diverse fields to be merged and tested. The resulting neural networks, simulated in software and/or hardware, provide an adaptable robust modeling tool useful to simulationists in all disciplines.
