  Hi Rick,

  A neural network was first devised in Cornell university to mirror the 
structure of the brain.  In essence they were trying to devise a flexible 
computational mechanism.  They actually connected things physically (as far as 
I remember from my undergrad days anyway) but one can achieve the same thing in 
software.

  Basically an artificial neuron fires according to inputs, and then triggers 
an output.  Therefore, it comes down to mathematics and programming.  Just make 
sure your language of choice supports recursion.  You can probably do this 
stuff iteratively, but (again from my undergrad days) I found recursive 
techniques to be the most suitable.
