The original poster of this piece thought nets research was only about 5
years old;  someone suggested s/he look at McCullough & Pitts (1941, I
believe).  Also S. Grossberg, now of Boston University, has been
publishing work in neural netwrorks, as simulations of actual brain
processes, since 1967, I believe.  Muchg of his labor was carried on in
anonynimity, but he has more recently begun to be widely recognized,
along with several others in his group at BU.
