Just like the billions of neurons that make up the human nervous system, the perceptron is the basic unit of artificial intelligence. Every thought, action, emotion or decision that we make reflect the activities of the nervous system which is a master system that controls and communicates with every part of your body. Biological intelligence relies on this complex mechanism of billions of neurons organized in different layers that communicate with one another through electrical and chemical signals.
