Rabunal J.R., Dorrado J. (Eds.) Artificial neural networks in real-life applications

Idea Group Inc., 2006. — 394 p. — ISBN: 1591409020, 9781591409021Throughout the past, human beings have been concerned with how to acquire tools that might increase their potentialities, not only regarding the physical or intellectual aspect but also the metaphysical one.
All these studies and investigations have achieved spectacular results, although they are still far from the daily performance of biological systems. Besides, during the last decades, the expectation for these type of systems has broadened due to the miniaturisation of computers coupled with the increment of their capacities for calculus and information storage. In this way, more complex systems are being progressively implemented in order to perform already demanded functions as well as those that will be coming soon and are unforeseen.Biological Modelization
