McCulloch-Pitts neuron
<artificial intelligence> The basic building block of artificial neural
networks. It receives one or more inputs and produces one or more identical
outputs, each of which is a simple non-linear function of the sum of the inputs
to the neuron. The non-linear function is typically a threshhold or step
function which is usually smoothed (i.e. a sigmoid) to facilitate learning.
