13.3. Artificial Neuron Model
A neuron is an information-processing unit that is fundamental to the operation of a neural network. The block diagram of Figure 13.1 shows the model of a neuron, which form the basis for designing (artificial) neural networks. Three basic elements of neuron model are as follows:

Interconnection Weights: A set of synapses or connecting links, each of which is characterized by a weight or strength of its own. Specifically, a signal xj at the input of synapse j connected to neuron k is multiplied by synaptic weight wkj. Unlike a synapse in the brain, the synaptic weight ...
