For Dummies -- The Introduction to Neural Networks we all need ! (Part 1) – TechnologyMadeEasy

Update: Part2 of the series is now available for reading here! Our brain uses the extremely large interconnected network of neurons for information processing and to model the world around us. Simply put, a neuron collects inputs from other neurons using dendrites. The neuron sums all the inputs and if the resulting value is greater than a threshold, it fires. The fired signal is then sent to other connected neurons through the axon.
