Neural

Neural refers to anything related to the nervous system or neurons, the cells that make up the nervous system. The term is used in several fields such as neuroscience, computer science, artificial intelligence, and statistics.

Neuroscience

In neuroscience, neural refers to anything related to the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. This system is responsible for sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all parts of the body.

Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence

In the fields of computer science and artificial intelligence, the term neural is often used in the context of neural networks. These are computing systems inspired by the biological neural networks that constitute animal brains. An artificial neural network is an interconnected group of nodes, akin to the vast network of neurons in a brain.

Statistics

In statistics, neural networks are used for machine learning, where they are algorithms that are designed to recognize patterns. They interpret sensory data through a kind of machine perception, labeling or clustering raw input.
