A neural network that uses the basic Hebbian learning rule and the Bayesian combination function is defined. Analogously to Hopfield's neural network, the convergence for the Bayesian neural network that asynchronously updates its neurons' states is proved. The performance of the Bayesian neural network in four medical domains is compared with various classification methods. The Bayesian neural network uses more sophisticated combination function than Hopfield's neural network and uses more economically the available information. The "naive" Bayesian classifier typically outperforms the basic Bayesian neural network since iterations in network make too many mistakes. By restricting the number of iterations and increasing the number of fixed points the network performs better than the naive Bayesian classifier. The Bayesian neural network is designed to learn very quickly and incrementally.
