Hands-On Deep Learning for IoT

ANN and the human brain

ANNs represent one aspect of the human nervous system, and how the nervous system consists of a number of neurons that communicate with each other using axons. The receptors receive the stimuli either internally or from the external world. Then, they pass this information to the biological neurons for further processing. There are a number of dendrites, in addition to another long extension called the axon. Toward the axon's extremities, there are minuscule structures called synaptic terminals, which are used to connect one neuron to the dendrites of other neurons. Biological neurons receive short electrical impulses called signals from other neurons, and, in response, they trigger their own signals.

We can, therefore, ...
