What are we making ? We’ll try making a simple & minimal Neural Network which we will explain and train to identify something, there will be little to no history or math (tons of that stuff out there), instead I will try ( and possibly fail ) to explain it to both you and I mostly with doodles and code,let us begin.

A lot of Neural Network terms both originate and make somehow more sense from a biological perspective, so let’s start from the very top :

The brain is complex, but in general it can be divided into a few basic parts and operations:

Stimuli can also be internal (like a percept or idea ):

Let’s look at some basic and simplified brain parts:

The brain is surprisingly mostly cabling.

The Neuron is the basic unit of computation in the brain, it receives and integrates chemical signals from other neurons and depending on a…
