神经系统是“数字人体——人体系统数字学”研究的重点,而神经网络作为人工智能领域的“领头羊”,是在对大脑神经系统模拟的基础上发展起来的算法系统。将数字人体与神经网络相结合,是生命科学与人工智能领域融合发展的结果。该文介绍了神经网络的概念特征,数字人体对神经网络发展的启发性作用,和神经网络在数字人体领域的应用潜力。

Digital human body——the digital science of human body System emphasizes the study of the nervous system of human beings while, as a foregoer in the area of artificial intelligence, neural network is of an algorithm system, which has developed on the basis of the simulation of nervous system of human brain. The combination of digital human body and neural network in study results from the fusion and development of biological science and artificeal intelligence. This article presents the conception and characteristics of neural network, the enlightening role of digital human body in the development of neural network and the potentiality of application of neural network in the area of digital human body.
