What is NeuroSolutions?
----------------------------------
NeuroSolutions is an object-oriented simulation environment for Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs).  Evolving from neuro-biological insights, ANN technology gives a computer system the capacity to actually learn. This all sounds very impressive, and indeed it is, but you don't have to be a brain surgeon to play with, appreciate and even utilize NeuroSolutions.

Installation Instructions
--------------------------------
1.	Download "NeuroSolutions.pkg.tar" from the ftp site.
2.	From the Unix shell type "gnutar -xf NeuroSolutions.pkg.tar"
3.	Double-click "NeuroSolutions.pkg" to run the Installer application and follow the instructions given.
4.	Double-click on "NeuroSolutions.app" located in the directory chosen for the installation.

What Does the Demo Do?
------------------------------------
	The demonstration mode of NeuroSolutions presents a series of examples in neural computing. Each example applies a fixed ANN topology to solve a given problem. We have designed this demo to be more than an advertisement for NeuroSolutions, it was designed with enough flexibility to be used as an educational tool. 
	All examples are live! We are not presenting a slide show or reenactment. Each example starts with random initial conditions and learns on-line. Since most of the examples deal with highly nonlinear problems, they may get stuck in local minima. In such cases, simply randomize the weights and try again. 
	The concept behind the Demo Mode is simple. We have constructed the network topologies, and their construction cannot be altered (unless you have registered this version). However, you are allowed to change their input and desired signals, learning rates, processing elements per layer and anything else that the individual components allow. Furthermore, you are allowed full access to an entire palette of network probes. These probes may be used to animate any network data during learning. Using network probes will be covered in a brief tutorial, and illustrations of their use are given in the examples. The examples should be run in order, but their documentation was designed to be self contained. While it is strongly recommended that you take the time to read through the NeuroSolutions Concepts and Reference, they are not required to run this demo.
