The future of neurocomputing can benefit greatly from biological studies. Structures found in biological systems can inspire new design architectures for ANN models (He90). Similarly, biology and cognitive science can benefit from the development of neurocomputing models. Artificial neural networks do, for example, illustrate ways of modeling characteristics that appear in the human brain (Le91). Conclusions, however, must be carefully drawn to avoid confusion between the two types of systems.
