Neural computing techniques seem to offer a way in which a simple mathematical model can be applied to solve complex problems through the suitable selection and training on examples. This artificial intelligence technique has been used for a wide range of applications from the simulation of psychological abilities to predicting stock market prices. The module will examine the biological background of neural computing techniques, provide a foundation on the common approaches to modelling neurons, and then explore example algorithms for supervised and unsupervised learning.
