Hopfield networks, a form of recurrent neural network (RNN), serve as a fundamental model for understanding associative memory and pattern recognition in computational neuroscience. Central to the operation of Hopfield networks is the Hebbian learning rule, an idea encapsulated by the maxim "neurons that fire together, wire together". In this tutorial, we explore the mathematical underpinnings of Hebbian learning within Hopfield networks, emphasizing its role in pattern recognition.
