How Do Neural Networks Work?

A neuron is the human brain’s most fundamental cell.

Working neural networks are what enable humans to think, and more importantly, learn.

Naturally, a neural connection in the human brain is very different from an artificially constructed neural connection.

Still, the fundamental way they work to process information and make predictions remains the same.
