Hi all!
For those interested in cognitive mapping and neural networks: there's a program called SOM (Self-Organizing Maps). This is a short description of SOM (copypasted from the page: http://www.cis.hut.fi/research/som-research/):
"Self-organizing maps
The SOM is an algorithm used to visualize and interpret large high-dimensional data sets. Typical applications are visualization of process states or financial results by representing the central dependencies within the data on the map.
The research activities of the group include applications of the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and Learning Vector Quantizing (LVQ) algorithms of Academician Kohonen."
It's developed by academician and professor (emeritus) Teuvo Kohonen in The Laboratory of Computer and Information Science (CIS) of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Helsinki University of Technology.
