A fascinating insight into Neural Networks, with some excellent visualisations at [The Nature of Code](http://natureofcode.com/book/chapter-10-neural-networks/?ref=binarysludge.com).

> In this chapter, we’ll begin with a conceptual overview of the properties and features of neural networks and build the simplest possible example of one (a network that consists of a single neuron). Afterwards, we’ll examine strategies for creating a “Brain” object that can be inserted into our Vehicle class and used to determine steering. Finally, we’ll also look at techniques for visualizing and animating a network of neurons.
