Theory and applications of neural maps

In this tutorial paper about neural maps we review the current state in theoretical aspects like mathematical treatment of convergence, ordering and topography, magnification and others. Therby we concentrate on two well-known examples: Self-Organizing Maps and Neural Gas. Moreover we briefly reflect outstanding applications showing the power of neural maps.
