Check out the PDP books "Parallel Distributed Processing" Vol 1&2 by Rummelhart & McClelland (MIT Press 1986) There was also a followup workbook with exercises and software a couple of years ago (also from MIT Press). For more recent developments and what's going on in application land, check out the IJCNN transactions (from IEEE) for the last few years. Have fun! - Tim Dyes
