McCulloch-Pitts Neuron

The McCulloch-Pitts neuron, introduced by Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts in 1943, describes the behavior of actual neural networks. It serves as one of the earliest formal models of a neuron and laid the groundwork for the development of artificial neural networks....

First analysis of neuronal activity (non-learning)

S.C. Kleene's 1956 paper, “Representation of Events in Nerve Nets and Finite Automata,” published in Automata Studies, investigates the ways in which events can be represented using nerve nets and finite automata. Kleene introduces key concepts and...
