Abstract

In this chapter we discuss how a single artificial neuron processes signals, and how to simulate it. We then develop a single artificial neuron and test its functionality. Having discussed and developed a single neuron, we decide on the NN architecture we will implement, and then develop a genotype constructor, and a mapper from genotype to phenotype. Finally, we then ensure that that our simple NN system works by using a simple sensor and actuator attached to the NN to test its sense-think-act ability.
