perceptrons
the very beginning of artificial neural networks
How does real neurons propagate a signal ?
a really simplified explanation
Donald Hebb
(1904 -1985)
Hebbian theory
“When an axon of cell A is near enough to excite a cell B and repeatedly or persistently takes part in firing it, some growth process or metabolic change takes place in one or both cells such that A's efficiency, as one of the cells firing B, is increased”
The Organization of Behavior
Hebb, D.O. (1949)
"Cells that fire together, wire together."

“(...) adults who have never played the piano fail to activate their pre-motor cortex to the sound of piano; after five one-hour piano lessons, however, they do, suggesting that the repeated association between the sound and the action of pressing a key has created a Hebbian association between auditory neurons and premotor MNs”
