See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Neural Networks are interesting for quite a lot of very different people: o Computer scientists want to find out about the properties of non-symbolic information processing with neural nets and about learning systems in general. o Statisticians use neural nets as flexible, nonlinear regression and classification models. o Engineers of many kinds exploit the capabilities of neural networks in many areas, such as signal processing and automatic control. o Cognitive scientists view neural networks as a possible apparatus to describe models of thinking and consciousness (High-level brain function). o Neuro-physiologists use neural networks to describe and explore medium-level brain function (e.g. memory, sensory system, motorics). o Physicists use neural networks to model phenomena in statistical mechanics and for a lot of other tasks. o Biologists use Neural Networks to interpret nucleotide sequences. o Philosophers and some other people may also be interested in Neural Networks for various reasons. For world-wide lists of groups doing research on NNs, see the Foundation for Neural Networks's (SNN) page at http://www.mbfys.kun.nl/snn/pointers/groups.html and see Neural Networks Research on the IEEE Neural Network Council's homepage http://www.ieee.org/nnc.
