Albert Maurel Uttley (14 August, 1906, London - 13 September, 1985 Bexhill)[1] was an English scientist involved in computing, cybernetics, neurophysiology and psychology. He was a member of the Ratio Club and was the person who suggested its name.[2]

He was designing conditional-probability neural nets for pattern recognition for the British military.[3] He showed that neural networks with Hebbian learning rules could learn to classify binary sequences.[4]
