An artificial neural network consists of interconnected processing elements called neurons. These neurons are organized into distinct layers that process information sequentially. The Mathematical Neuron
The basic units that perform weighted sums and apply activation functions.
Receives the raw data vectors without performing computation.

X = [0 0 1 1; 0 1 0 1]; T = [0 1 1 0];
Simple models for binary classification and linear regression.
By passing validation data into the training function, MATLAB can track validation error alongside training error. If the validation error consistently increases over a specified number of epochs (defined by net.trainParam.max_fail ), training terminates automatically—even if the performance goal has not been reached.
