Most techniques today center around an iterative approach, not recursive
ones.

Look up the concept of a perceptron and start from there.

Take care,

Thanks Donal: Recurssion eh. Well it's a start - grin.

        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.
