Neural network

A neural network is an interconnected group of artificial or biological neurons. It is possible to differentiate between two major groups of neural networks:

• Biological neural networks, for example the human brain or parts thereof.
• Artificial neural networks originally referred to electrical, mechanical or computational simulations or models of biological neural networks. The field has expanded so that some applications do not clearly resemble any existing biological counterpart.

In modern usage the term most often refers to artificial neural networks, especially in computer science and related fields. There exist hybrids, incorporating biological neurons as part of electronic circuits, so there is not always a clear delineation.
